Abstract

Objective: This study was an attempt to shed light on the predictive role of intimate partner violence in adhering to treatment regimens in women with chronic illnesses.

Method: In a descriptive-analytical study, 400women with chronic illnesses in Bushehr were selected through convenience sampling. The data were collected by distributing a demographic information form and two questionnaires, including the intimate partner violence (IPV) questionnaire and the treatment adherence scale.

Results: According to the results, the 40 to 59 years age group (P = 0.046, β = 0.104), the 60 to 79 years age group (P = 0.019, β = 0.122), and the group receiving education about chronic illness (P = 0.031, β = 0.106) showed a direct relationship with treatment adherence, while IPV (P < 0.001, β = 0.284) had a significant inverse relationship with treatment adherence.

Conclusion: The results of the study showed that predictors of treatment adherence are IPV in women aged 40 and older with chronic illnesses, and receiving education about chronic illnesses. It is necessary for healthcare providers to consider barriers such as intimate partner violence when providing education in order to increase treatment adherence. To avoid nonadherence, managers and health planners should implement policies to increase the level of awareness of healthcare staff on how to manage care of women with chronic illnesses who are abused by an intimate partner and refer them to counselors and family helpers.

亲密伴侣暴力对慢性病妇女坚持治疗的预测作用：一项横断面研究。

研究目的本研究试图揭示亲密伴侣暴力对慢性病妇女坚持治疗方案的预测作用：在一项描述性分析研究中，通过便利抽样选取了布什尔的 400 名慢性病妇女。通过发放人口信息表和两份问卷（包括亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）问卷和治疗依从性量表）收集数据：结果显示，40 至 59 岁年龄组（P = 0.046，β = 0.104）、60 至 79 岁年龄组（P = 0.019，β = 0.122）和接受慢性病教育组（P = 0.031，β = 0.106）与治疗依从性有直接关系，而 IPV（P 结论：IPV 与治疗依从性有直接关系：研究结果表明，对 40 岁及以上患有慢性病的妇女而言，IPV 和接受慢性病教育是坚持治疗的预测因素。医疗服务提供者在提供教育时有必要考虑亲密伴侣暴力等障碍，以提高治疗依从性。为避免出现不坚持治疗的情况，管理者和卫生规划者应实施相关政策，提高医护人员对如何管理被亲密伴侣虐待的慢性病女性的认识水平，并将她们转介给咨询师和家庭帮助者。

期刊介绍： Chronic illnesses are prolonged, do not resolve spontaneously, and are rarely completely cured. The most common are cardiovascular diseases (hypertension, coronary artery disease, stroke and heart failure), the arthritides, asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes and epilepsy. There is increasing evidence that mental illnesses such as depression are best understood as chronic health problems. HIV/AIDS has become a chronic condition in those countries where effective medication is available.
