ABSTRACT
Introduction: Non-adherence to drug therapy is one of the main problems in providing medical management for patients with
Parkinson’s disease. The factors involved are many and include clinical and socio-demographic aspects. These factors have not
been described in Mexican patients.
Objetive: To determine the level of adherence and perceptions about treatment of Mexican patients with Parkinson’s disease.
Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in patients with Parkinson’s disease. Clinical and demographic data
including antiparkinsonic treatment were recorded. The following clinical instruments were applied: Movement Disorders Society
Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale, Morisky-Green Questionnaire, Brief Medication Questionnaire and the Beliefs about
Medicines Questionnaire.
Results: A total of 64 patients (33 men) were included, the mean age was 59.2 ± 14.5 years. Low adherence was found in 32.8 %
of the patients; intermediate adherence on 31.3 %and high adherence on 35.9 %. The 18.8% of the patients reported suspending
their antiparkinsonic drugsby choice in the last six months; 56.2 % say they worry about side effects, although 90.7% recognized
the benefit of treatment. A younger age (p = 0.005), early age of onset (p = 0.001) and having employment (p = 0.043) were the
factors associated with a high adherence.
Conclusions: Adherence in the studied sample is less than that reported in other countries. Age and employment have a very
important role in treatment adherence.
