Interviews were conducted using a semistructured interview guide with a broad, open‑endedquestion to provide a general history of the disease separately. The interviewer asked participantsto identify the perceived barriers to treatment nonadherence. Each interview lasted 45–60 min.MAXQDA version 20 and inductive content analysis were used to code and analyze extracted data.RESULTS: Four major themes emerged from the patients’ perspectives as “financial problems,”“individual factors,” “problems related to medication availability,” and “healthcare providers’ poorpractices.” Two major themes were classified from the perspective of patients’ families as “financialproblems” and “Individual factors,” and four major themes were identified from the viewpoint ofhealthcare providers including “financial problems,” “individual factors,” “scarcity and medicationavailability,” and “poor practice of the healthcare provider.” These mentioned barriers were confirmedregarding treatment nonadherence among study participants.CONCLUSION: Study findings revealed different factors of treatment nonadherence among diabeticpatients with limited health literacy. Therefore, these factors should be considered in tailoringpromotive educational and supportive interventions. Considering the importance of adherence totreatment patients, planning empowerment family‑based interventions focusing on health literacyimprovement seems necessary.

Read More BACKGROUND: Empowerment is an essential issue in women’s lives. Powerful women can actsuccessfully in health‑related issues more than others. This study aimed to determine the effectivenessof an educational intervention designed based on theory of planned behavior (TPB) on health careempowerment among married women in reproductive age.METHODS: This randomized controlled trial was carried out among 488 reproductive‑age womenbetween 2018 and 2019 in Tehran, Iran. Participants were recruited using randomized clustersampling and divided into intervention (n = 243) and control (n = 245) groups by random allocation.Data were collected using a self‑administered researcher‑made questionnaire based on TPB andHealth Care Empowerment Questionnaire. Validity (content validity index = 0.87; content validityratio = 0.89) and reliability of the questionnaires were confirmed ( = 0.96). Intervention wasimplemented within four sessions (lasting 60 min) using eight health related scenarios based onTPB constructs. Baseline and post intervention data (6 months after the intervention) were analyzedby SPSS25 (Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) using independent t‑test, Chi‑squared test, Fisher’s Exact test,Mann–Whitney, path analysis, and regression of generalized estimating equation model. P < 0.05was considered statistically significant.RESULTS: Results showed the mean ± standard deviation age of the participants was 33.6 ± 7.1.Six months after the intervention, a significant difference was highlighted in health care empowermentdomains as well as behavioral intention, attitude toward behavior, subjective norms, and perceivedbehavioral control (P < 0.001) between intervention and control groups.CONCLUSION: TPB‑based educational intervention can significantly improve women’s perceptionabout health care empowerment. Tailoring and implementation of TPB‑based intervention by healthpolicy makers and health care providers is suggested to achieve better perception of empowermenttoward receiving health care among women.
