Abstract:

Objective: To evaluate the prevalence and factors associated with adherence to enzyme replacement therapy in adolescents with cystic fibrosis. Methods: Cross-sectional, observational descriptive study. Sociodemographic and clinical data were collected. The instruments used for to assess adherence were: Morisky-Green questionnaire and medication dispensing at the pharmacy and for the associated factors, interview with structured questionnaire. Results: We interviewed 44 adolescents. According to the method of the pharmacy medicine dispensing analysis and questionnaire of Morisky-Green, find an adhesion of 45.5% and 11.4% respectively. The higher adherence was observed in those with early and lower diagnosis in older adolescents and girls. The factors with the higher prevalence of non-adherence were: do not take as enzymes to eat you out of the house, taking enzymes only in large meals, normal lung function, with severe and very severe obstruction. Conclusions: The prevalence of adhesion to the enzyme was low. Information related to the disease and treatment should be improved, especially in older teens and with impairment of lung function, with the creation of strategies and longitudinal studies to identify factors that interfere with adherence.
