Perspectiva multidisplicinaria del apoyo a la adherencia antirretroviral en Andalucía. Estudio Andhalusida
2012
Objective: To analyse physicians’, pharmacists’ and nurses’ perspectives on the importance of
different antiretroviral treatment adherence support activities and identify the main obstacles
to meeting established recommendations which health professionals encounter.
Method: Cross-sectional observational and analytical study. Three questionnaires were designed
based on 2008 GESIDA/SEFH/PNS recommendations for improving treatment adherence:
‘‘ideal measures’’ (IM), ‘‘real measures’’ (RM) and ‘‘adherence support problems’’ (ASP).
Cronbach’s Alpha index was determined to analyse questionnaire reliability and correlation
coefficients between the MI and MR scales. We applied the Chi-square test or Monte Carlo method
to analyse the correlation between health providers and items on the three questionnaires.
Results: Participants consisted of 58 health professionals. The response rate was 76%. The
Cronbach Alpha indices for the IM, RM and ASP questionnaires were 0.852, 0.933 and 0.818
respectively. The resulting intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.280. Significant differences
were found for multiple comparisons of IM and RM questionnaires among physicians and pharmacists.
The analysis of relationships between providers also found significant differences for
one of the answers on the IM questionnaire, three on the RM and five on the ASP.
Conclusions: We observed that several health professionals have different perspectives on measures
of support for treatment adherence, with differences arising mainly due to lack of time
and training.
