摘要
Objectives: To explore the constructs of the Health Belief Model in order to predict medication adherence in patients with human immunodeficiency virus. Method: The correlational study was conducted at Jinnah Hospital, Lahore, Pakistan, from March to May 2019, and comprised patients positive for human immunodeficiency virus aged 18-55 years and taking antiretroviral therapy from at least three months. Data was collected using the Urdu version of the health belief scale (HBS), cues to action, and adherence determination questionnaire (ADQ). Data was analysed using SPSS 22. Results: Of the 150 subjects, 109(72.7%) were males, 36(24%) were females and 5(3.3%) were transgender. The overall mean age was 33.17+/-8.22 years. The perceived susceptibility, severity and barriers to engage in human immunodeficiency virus-preventive behaviour significantly positively predicted medication adherence (p<0.05). Perceived benefits were not helpful in understanding medication adherence pattern (p>0.05). Conclusion: There was need to introduce awareness campaign regarding the importance of taking regular medication by human immunodeficiency virus patients.
