Résumé
Poor adherence to treatment is a major issue for the management of hypertension and other chronic conditions. Although it is common among hypertensive patients and a cause of uncontrolled hypertension, poor adherence remains very difficult to diagnose in clinical practice. Moreover, it is unclear how to improve adherence. Hence, identifying potentially modifiable factors that are associated with treatment adherence among hypertensive patients is of high clinical interest.
Treatment satisfaction is usually defined 'as the individual's rating of important attributes of the process and outcomes of his/her treatment experience'. Treatment satisfaction is conceptually difficult to define as it can encompass the entire treatment experience, going from the satisfaction with the medication to the satisfaction with health-care delivery system. Nevertheless, it represents an interesting patient reported outcome potentially useful to understand patient's perspectives and to evaluate some elements of the quality of care. Maintaining a long-term high treatment satisfaction is a serious challenge in patients having to take drugs for chronic conditions, such as hypertension.
