THE PROBLEM AND ITS
BACKGROUND
8/6/2019 Research Namin
3/91
Health is one of the essential componentsof life. It encompasses the general well-beingof a person encompassing the physical,
emotional, mental, social, environmental,and spiritual aspect of his life. Impairment toone of these aspects of health may affect theother aspects, thus health preservation andpromotion is very important.
8/6/2019 Research Namin
4/91
Concerning about health of every individualespecially students is very important, in the factthat health is the foundation of every success.Sometimes, most students focus on their studies
not knowing that their health is affected. Insteadof buying medicines for them to relieve any painthey prioritize their needs in school. Even whenone recognizes personal susceptibility to such
illness, action will not occur unless theindividual perceives that the illness is becomingsevere.
8/6/2019 Research Namin
5/91
Most students take primary regimen such as
consulting to the school or university healthcareproviders at their infirmaries when they perceivethat something is wrong to their health.Howeverthere is no assurance whether they comply withthe Physicians prescription such as following the
right dose, time and duration of medications tobe taken. There are many potential explanationsfor why students dont take prescribed drugs,ranging from cost to convenience to the patients
not being totally convinced that the drug isnecessary to treat an asymptomatic condition asstated by Kenneth Lin,MD(http://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2010/06/patients-prescription-drugs.html).

In another international study, Pauline Chen, ina recentNew York Timescolumn, discusses the
worrisome issue of medication noncompliance.According to the data, it was stated that asmany as half of all patients did not follow theirdoctors advice when it came to medications,and, more than 20 percent of first-time patientprescriptions were never filled.
8/6/2019 Research Namin
7/91
In addition, third world governments
have expanded the provision of primaryhealth services, and with it, the number ofprescriptions has increased phenomenally.However, little data were known about howthird world patients are using prescribedmedicines. In order to assess the availableinformation, 37 empirical studies were
reviewed on compliance to prescriptionslocated through electronic lines andnetworking.
8/6/2019 Research Namin
8/91
By and large, the orientation of the studies is
biomedical. The authors measure levels ofcompliance and advance recommendations toincrease them. It was found out that there islittle consistency in the definition of compliance
and a variety of methodologies used in itsmeasurement. In spite of methodologicalproblems, most researchers found low levels ofadherence to medical regimens. Low levels of
adherence raise questions about the quality ofcare, iatrogenic effects caused by the inadequateuse of modern medicines, and the health andeconomic impact of health investments.
8/6/2019 Research Namin
9/91
At the same tie it is recognized that, given
current prescribing practices and lack ofefficacy of many medicines, compliance mayadd little to the quality of care. Complianceand prescribing behaviors should always be
examined together and as part of quality ofcare assessments, as stated by NuriaHomedes and Antonio Ugalde in their studyon Patients' compliance with medical
treatments in the third world. What do weknow? as posted byhttp://www.heapol.oxfordjournals.org/content/8/4/291.abstract.

Most College students visiting the
University or college infirmary or clinics arereceiving Physicians prescription mostlycontaining the drugs to be taken. Physiciansmay give free medications but may not cover
the complete days required for the drugs tobe taken. There may be no assuranceregarding the compliance of the students toPhysicians prescription. The health of a
person does not end from the time ofconsultation, it continues up to the how theclient follow the specific prescription oradvise.

This research study will be conducted todetermine compliance of students of IsabelaState University to Physicians prescription.
Furthermore, the researchers of the studywould like to determine effect of the factorsnamely Financial, Social, cultural, religion,psychological and emotional factors) to
compliance of students to physiciansprescription.

Background of the Study
The health care services of the IsabelaState University-Echague, Isabela started in a
small clinic located in the Administrationbuilding. It is a requirement for all theUniversities to have their own clinic as permemorandum ofCommission onHigher
Education (CHED) inorder to providehealthcare services to all the students anduniversity employees.

The building of the infirmary started as amultipurpose building which was initiallyconstructed on September 6, 2004 throughthe priority development assistance fund of
Representative Ernesto C. Pablo, APECPartylist. It was completed by ISU during theadministration of Dr. Romeo R. Quilang,President to house the health Services of the
University System that was inaugurated lastJune 10, 2008.

The university infirmary consists of theUniversity Physician who is the head, twonurses, and one dentist and one dental aid.
8/6/2019 Research Namin
17/91
As nursing students, we play a major role inhealth promotion and disease prevention. Theuniversity infirmary is one of the sources ofhealth of student of Isabela State University. It is
important to know if the student who haveconsulted infirmary have really complied withthe physicians prescription since healthimprovement does not only depends on the time
of consultation and interaction with the healthcare provider.Health of consumers will reallyimprove if they really complied with thePhysicians prescription.
8/6/2019 Research Namin
18/91
Thus, the researcher will conduct theresearch study to determine the compliance ifthe ISU students to the Physicians and the
factors affecting the students compliance.

Significance of the Study
The research study is to be conducted todetermine the compliance of the Isabela State
University students to Physicians prescription.Since the ISU students are the respondents ofthe study, they are the ones that would be
benefited most in the sense that they will
become more aware regarding their health.Compliance to physicians prescription is one ofthe important components of health promotionand disease prevention.
8/6/2019 Research Namin
25/91
Parents of the respondents are the next tobe benefited after the respondents. Based onwhat will be the results of the study, parents
will become more aware on supporting theneeds of the students regarding health, andthis includes financial and social support.
8/6/2019 Research Namin
26/91
Aside from the respondents and theparents of the respondents, the Universityofficials and healthcare officials will also bebenefited. Depending on what will be the
results of the study, the University officialsand healthcare officials will become awareregarding the necessary modifications onpolicies regarding the healthcare services
offered by the University, inorder to promotebetter health among the students.

REVIEW OF RELATED
LITERATURE
8/6/2019 Research Namin
35/91
Several studies have been taken for thesustenance of research study.
In one research regarding the Factors
Affecting Students' Medicine-Taking Habitsby C. E. Labig , K. Zantow, and T.O.Peterson, it was stated that the studyexamines college students' beliefs abouthealth, prescriptions, doctors, and theinfluence those beliefs have on adherence toprescribed medication regimens.
8/6/2019 Research Namin
36/91
After a brief review of attitudinal factorsthat influence adherence to prescriptionmedicine directions, the authors discussmeasurement issues and explain the reasons
for their approach to studying adherenceissues. The results of the exploratory studyindicate that college students' adherence to aprescribed medication regimen is more
strongly associated with beliefs about health,prescription drugs, and a self-cureorientation than students' satisfaction withtheir physicians.
8/6/2019 Research Namin
37/91
In the sample of students, forgetfulnessappears to be the dominant reason for non-adherence. One implication from theseresults is that adherence issues may be more
appropriately addressed in campuspromotions than in the medical clinic. Theauthors also offer suggestions for furtherresearch (Journal of American College
Health Volume 54, Number 3 / November-December 2006).
8/6/2019 Research Namin
38/91
PaulineC
hen, in a recentNew YorkTimescolumn, that there are many potentialexplanations for why patients dont followprescriptions such as taking the prescribed
drugs. She claimed that patients nonadherence with medication regimens remainsone of the most important healthcareconcerns; it is surprising that research in this
area is sorely lacking.
8/6/2019 Research Namin
39/91
Dr. Pauline Chen stated some multicausalphenomenon affecting the patients nonadherence to prescription which includes, theseriousness of illness, the cost of treatment,
the treatments side effects, the patients age,mental status and memory capacity thecomplexity of recommendation, the durationof regimen, the type of medical advice theclarity or unclarity of written instructionsand accessibility.
8/6/2019 Research Namin
40/91
Furthermore, Dr. Chen pointed out somepossible solutions on how to improve thepatients adherence to Physicians
prescription. She stated that one solutionwould be to have pharmacy in the Physiciansoffice where patients can pick up their
medications on the way out.
8/6/2019 Research Namin
41/91
She added that strategies for adherenceinclude raising information and skill levels,altering characteristics of the regimens and
improving the relationships between thehealthcare provider and the patient. Providerand patients awareness with regard tomedication adherence can be enhance with
the creative application of the behavioralcontracts thus Improving reinforcement.

Zasstocki and Rovinski-Wagner added
suggestions on how to take medications properlyto solve the problem of medication nonadherence. Stated below are the followingsuggestions:
TO TAKEMEDICATION PROPERLY
Be sure you understand
Each medications nameWhy you are taking the medication
How much medication you should take
8/6/2019 Research Namin
43/91
How to take the medication:
-With meals or on an empty stomach
-The same time each day
-The number of hours between doses
The side effects
The side effects (symptoms) you should report to
your nurse or doctor
8/6/2019 Research Namin
44/91
Always ask your nurse or doctor about any
questions you have
Take your medications exactly as instructed
-Do not take anyone elses medications
-Do not take medications you can buywithout prescriptions (over the counter) unlessthey are approved by your nurse or doctor
-Do not use alternative medicine or herbal orvitamin supplements unless they are approvedby your nurse or doctor.
8/6/2019 Research Namin
45/91
Follow any special safety precautions, such as
-Keep your medications separate from otherfamily members medications.
Let your family and friends to help you
Ask your nurse or doctor about communitygroups that maybe able to help you.
Your nurse can help you with-Fitting your medication into your daily
routine. Try to keep your routine as simple aspossible
8/6/2019 Research Namin
46/91
Tips to help you remember to take your
medication, such as-Using a calendar, grease board, or checklist
with the medication times marked.
-Using an egg carton to arrange medicationfor the day
-Scheduling your medications around usualroutine such as meals
-Using pictures or colored dots on bottles.For example red dots or a picture of a sun willtell you to take the medication in the morning
8/6/2019 Research Namin
47/91
-Using an index card with a picture of the
medication by your toothbrush could remindyou to take medication in the morning or inbedtime
-Using a medication organizer on the nextpage for example

In addition, in order that medication can
achieve its intended benefit it is importantthat people complete the prescribed course orcontinue to take it when a chronic conditionis present. Compliance refers to the extent towhich people follow health advice or otherprescribed regimens, including drugtreatment. It may assume that most people
comply with prescribed drug treatment;however, this is often not the case and thereare many reasons or for this, includingpolypharmacy and difficulty in:
8/6/2019 Research Namin
49/91
Understanding why medication is necessary
Understanding what benefits what themedication may have
Remembering advice given to themAccepting disruption to their lives
Accepting that they have condition that requirestreatment

Potter and Perry emphasized that patients
mentality is a factors associated with compliance toPhysicians prescription especially in terms ofmedication adherence. Client knowledge about aprescribed medication varies with the person and
depends on many factors. Some clients desire andreceive detailed information about the medicationsthey are taking, whereas other clients want andreceive minimal information. Determine what the
client already knows and what he or she needs toknow to take medication safely. Then ask questions toelicit this information. Clearly document inadequateknowledge or gaps in important areas so that an
individualized teaching plan can be formulated.
8/6/2019 Research Namin
51/91
Assessing cognitive ability is important
for individualizing the teaching plan anddetermining whether the client canindependently manage self-medication.Cognitive impairment, confusion, and
psychiatric disorders may increase thepotential for difficulty with the medicationregimen. Learning disabilities may
necessitate creative teaching to ensureunderstanding and compliance with therapy.Include family members or the caregiver inthe teaching sessions.
8/6/2019 Research Namin
52/91
Compliance with a medication routine
means, that the client takes the medicationexactly as prescribed. Lack of compliance canoccur in many ways, for example when client:
does not take any of the prescribed drug;
does not take the proper number of doses ofthe drug;
takes extra doses of the drug; does not follow the dosage schedule as
prescribed;
8/6/2019 Research Namin
53/91
discontinues the medication, prematurely;
excessively uses a PRN order; Takes medication that was ordered previously
for another condition.
Clients are more likely to follow simplemedication routines that suite their lifestyles. Aclients attitude, about medical care and aboutspecific medications can influence his/hercompliance with drug therapy. Begin by askinggeneral questions, such as, Do you believe thatthis medication will help you get better? Bealert to comments that indicate a clients lack ofconfidence in prescribed drug treatment.
8/6/2019 Research Namin
54/91
Lifestyle and financial considerations alsoaffect the compliance with drug therapy. Theclient with a regular income, healthinsurance, and a stable home is more likely toobtain medications and to organize routinesto remember to take them. when a client doesnot have in a home, income, or health
insurance, buying, storing, and rememberingto take medications regularly can be difficult.
8/6/2019 Research Namin
55/91
Compliance is a clients adherence to the
prescribed course of therapy. Unfortunately notall persons are interested in maintaining health.Many people will not adopt new health
behaviors unless they perceive a disease as a
threat, they overcome barriers to changinghealth practices, and they see the benefits toadopting a healthy behavior. The nurse assessthe clients motivation to learn and what the
client needs to know in order to promotecompliance with the prescribed therapy(Fundamentals of nursing; seventh edition,2009).
8/6/2019 Research Namin
56/91
Taylor, Lillis, and LeMone added thatnurses play a great role for the compliance ofpatients. Nursing assessment of the patientslearning needs is vital to developing a plan ofcare in with which the patient can comply.Patients are considered compliant when theyfollow the treatment plan and use the
information they have been taught.
8/6/2019 Research Namin
57/91
Noncompliance occurs when patients ignore
instructions or do not follow themapproximately. Noncompliance can also beassociated with a lack of learning readiness andmotivation, confusion, disappointment,
misunderstanding, fear, inability to learn, orinadequately finances. When patientsunderstands their diagnosis, treatmentrationale, medication regimen and the benefitsof compliance, they are more likely to comply.
Noncompliance can hurt the patients health.Increased patients compliance is direct outcomeof effective patients teaching (Fundamentals ofnursing, Chapter 22, page 483).
8/6/2019 Research Namin
58/91
In another study made by Steve Wilkins
that factors affecting patients compliance arecategorized into two groups namely: factorscan be categorized into two groups:Unintentional non-adherence andIntentional non-adherence.
Unintentional non-adherence is related to
a patients ability and resources to take theirmedication (e.g., problems with manualdexterity, forgetfulness, inability to pay formedication, etc.).
8/6/2019 Research Namin
59/91
Intentional non-adherence is associated with
a patients motivation and beliefs, e.g., thereasons for needing a medication, the efficacy ofa proposed treatment and concerns about sideeffects of medication or treatment
(http://www.kevinmd.com).
Patients who do not take the medications asprescribed or who do not recognize warningsigns of illness exacerbation or drug side effectsare at risk for unsuccessful results, adversereactions, and poor quality of life. (Schatzberg etal, 2007).
8/6/2019 Research Namin
60/91
The threats to patient adherence are
many. Some of them come from the mentalhealth team, others from the patient orfamily, and still others reflect a shared failureof the therapeutic alliance. Nurses, patients,and families should work together tominimize misunderstandings andunnecessarily complex medication regimen
(Kozuki et al, 2005; Tay 2007). Too oftenclinicians blame patients for non-adherencewithout completing the following:
8/6/2019 Research Namin
61/91
Fully evaluating the treatment plan from thepatients perspective
Aligning the treatment plan with the patients
goals (rather than the clinicians goals) Designing the treatment plan based on all
aspects of the patients life, rather thanmerely the reduction of symptoms
Understanding the patients reasons for non-adherence
8/6/2019 Research Namin
62/91
Synthesis of the Study
In the review of related literatures severalstudies were taken for the sustenance of researchstudy.
The different studies that were included in
the review of related literatures, all pointed outto the factors affecting the compliance ofpatients (students) to Physicians prescriptionespecially in terms of medication adherence,
8/6/2019 Research Namin
63/91
these factors include the seriousness of illness,the cost of treatment, the treatments sideeffects, the patients age, mental status andmemory capacity the complexity ofrecommendation, the duration of regimen, the
type of medical advice the clarity or unclarity ofwritten instructions and accessibility. Insimilarity with the research study, researchersalso pointed out several factors that may affect
the compliance of Isabela state Universitystudents to Physicians prescription, whichincludes the financial, social, mental, spiritual,cultural, and emotional factors.
8/6/2019 Research Namin
64/91
On the other hand, the researchers have
seen two differences between research studyand studies included in the review of relatedliteratures. First is that, the researchers wantto determine as to what extent does the factoraffects the compliance of Isabela stateUniversity students to Physicians prescription.Second, the studies on the review of related
literature include suggestions on how toimprove the compliance of patients toPhysicians prescription which is not includedin the research study.
8/6/2019 Research Namin
65/91
Conceptual Framework
This study seeks to ascertain factorsaffecting the students compliance to
Physicians prescription. Another inspirationbehind all of these efforts is to determine iftheres really a significant relationship
between the factors affecting and thestudents compliance to Physiciansprescription.
8/6/2019 Research Namin
66/91
The summarization of the research to be
conducted is shown in Figure 1 underconceptual paradigm. The relative factorsinclude financial, social, cultural, spiritual,
mental and emotional, while the profile ofthe respondents include age, gender, courseand year, scholarships/assistantships,religion, ethnicity, income of parents,
occupation of parents and type of illness asdiagnosed by the University Physician.
8/6/2019 Research Namin
67/91
Every shape used in conceptual paradigm
has significance in order for the researcher tohave pattern and basis in the study. Boxes indifferent sizes represent as an enclosingshape of the following: profile of the
respondents, relative factors, compliance ofthe respondents to Physicians prescriptionsand significance of the relationship of the
three. Lines help to connect each of theenclosed words.
8/6/2019 Research Namin
68/91
The one with the emphasized box is the
compliance to Physicians prescription. Theresearcher made it to be emphasized since itwill be the focus of the study, in which theprofile of the respondents themselves andrelative factors are connected to. This is togive a clue in part of the researcher to befocusing on, if the factors have really effect
on students compliance to Physiciansprescription and its extent of influencetoward the compliance to Physiciansprescription.
8/6/2019 Research Namin
69/91
The lines connected from the profile ofthe respondents, relative factors andcompliance to Physicians prescription are
then again connected to significance of therelationship back to the profile of therespondents, pointing toward relationshipor interrelatedness.

72/91
Research Design/Method
The researcher will use the descriptivecorrelational design. Descriptive Research
design is a valid method for researchingspecific subjects. The purpose of Descriptivestudies is to observe, describe, and documentaspects of a situation as it naturally occurs and
sometimes to serve as a starting point forhypothesis generation or theory development.(Nursing research; eight edition by D. Polit andC. Beck, 2008.)
8/6/2019 Research Namin
73/91
8/6/2019 Research Namin
74/91
Data Gathering Instrument
The data gathering instrument to be used forthe research study will be a questionnaire
regarding the demographic profile of therespondents namely Age, Gender, Course and
Year, Scholarships/Assistantships, Religion,Ethnicity, Income of parents, Occupation ofparents, and Type of illness as diagnosed by theUniversity Physician and the factors affectingtheir compliance to Physicians prescription.
8/6/2019 Research Namin
75/91
The questionnaires are used to determine as to
what extent does the factors affect thecompliance of the respondents. Thequestionnaires will be floated among therespondents. The Likert Scale is use in the
questionnaire and the questions included areclose ended questions and are answerable bymeans of putting a mark in degrees of numbers
with interpretations. These degrees of numbers
are 5 (strongly agree), 4 (moderately agree), 3(undecided), 2 (disagree), and 1 (stronglydisagree).
8/6/2019 Research Namin
76/91
To come up with qualitative results, aninterview with the respondents will beconducted. An interview guide will be use for
the interview. The response of therespondents to the questions in the interviewwill be group depending on theinterrelatedness of their answers.
8/6/2019 Research Namin
77/91
Data Gathering Procedure
Step 1.
The researchers will go to the Universityinfirmary to get the list of names of thestudents who consulted the infirmary on a
weekly basis within a period of one month inthe first semester School year 2011.
8/6/2019 Research Namin
78/91
Step 2.
After getting the list of names of thestudents who consulted the infirmary, theresearcher will ask consent from the student.If the student granted the consent, he/shewill be the respondent of the study. However,if the respondent refused to grant the
consent, he/she has the right and this will berespected by the researchers.
8/6/2019 Research Namin
79/91
Step 3.
The researchers will conduct a follow upinterview with the respondents (the ISU
students who consulted the Universityinfirmary within a month. A follow-upinterview will be conducted with therespondents, and an interview guide will be
use during the interview. The interview guideconsists of questions regarding thecompliance of the students to Physiciansprescription.

81/91
Before the questionnaires are floated among
the respondents, a Pilot testing will be done firstin which the researchers will do pre-testing ofquestionnaires to some of the respondents. Toaccomplish the Pilot testing, the researchers will
get some of the respondents (but not all) and letthem answer the questions in the questionnaire.The Pilot testing is done to determine the
validity of questionnaires. Those students whoanswered the questions during the Pilot testing
will not be included anymore as respondents ofthe study. If the questionnaires are valid afterthe Pilot testing, the researchers will float thequestionnaires among all the respondents.
8/6/2019 Research Namin
82/91
But, if after the Pilot testing, there aresome questions that should be modified, theresearchers will modify specific questionsbefore floating the questionnaires to all the
respondents. This is done to ensure that therespondents will not encounter difficulty inanswering or understanding the questions.
8/6/2019 Research Namin
83/91
Step 5.
After the interview with the respondentsand after floating the questionnaires among
the respondents, the researchers will beginanalyzing and interpreting data.
Regarding the interview, the answers of
the respondents will be group according tosimilarity or interrelatedness of theiranswers.
8/6/2019 Research Namin
84/91
Regarding the questionnaires, specific
statistical tools will be used to group theprofile of the respondents and to determineas to what extent does the factor affect the
compliance to physicians prescription.
The data will be organized, tabulated andtallied. The researchers will get the
percentage, mean, frequency of the data.
8/6/2019 Research Namin
85/91
A percentage and frequency distribution
will be used in analyzing the data regardingthe profile of the respondents. In terms ofanalyzing the data on the questionnaire
regarding the different factors included, themean of the response of the respondents willbe use to analyze the data.
