aim of this study was to determine adherences rate and evaluate factors affecting adherence
amongpatients on ART in DilChora Referral HospitaAl.mix of quantitative & qualitative
method was use.dFor quantitative method a total of 97 people living with HIV/AIDS on ART
were included in the cross sectional survey. All patients who came to the hodsupriintagl
study period were considered based on convenient sampling techniqu-Seq. uCahrei test is
used to examine the association of adherence with associated factors. Both data entry and
analysis was done using SPSS version 20. For the qualitative studFyG fDiv ewas conducted
with 25 ARV users, and 18 peer educators. And key informant interview with two health
workers.The qualitative data was transcribed & categorized by main theme manually &
presented in narrative form to supplement the quantitative fins.dOinfg 97 respondents, 60

(6.2%) had 95-100% and the rest, 4 (4.1%) had <95% adherences with overall adherence rate
of 95.9% for last month prior to the study perioTdh.emain reasons for skipping the doses
were 4 (4.1%) forgetfulness, 3 (3%.1) being away from homet hoer reasons included sleeping
and being busy with other thin.g Lsiving with others (P=0.001), being married (P=0.000),
family disclosure (P=0.002) and using mmoery aids (P=0.000) were significantly associated
with adherence to ART.The self-reported adherence rate to ART (95.9%) was found to be
relatively higher which needs inclusion of other methods to ensure consistency of this value.
Forgetfulness, being awafyrom home and being busy with other things were the foremost
reasons for non -adherence. The patients should be encouraged to maintain this high level of
adherence. | en_US |
