چکیده مقاله

Abstract
Background and aim: coronary artery disease is one of the most common forms of cardiovascular disease.
Angioplasty is a common technique for its treatment. Adherence is an important factor in preventing the
progression of coronary heart disease in patients undergoing angioplasty. Therefore, the present study was
conducted in order to determine the medication adherence in patients undergoing repeat angioplasty in
Shaheed Rajaei Cardiovascular Medical and Research Center in 2021.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 92 patients referring to Shaheed Rajaei
cardiovascular medical and research center undergoing coronary artery restenosis following repeat
angioplasty. Patients were selected with convenience sampling. The instruments used in this study included
the demographic information scale and the Medication Adherence Rating Scale) MARS (.
Results: The mean of patients’ age was (60.60±6.53) and the majority of the patients were males (55%), and
mostly under diploma (34%). The mean score of professional self-concept was 3.04±1.21. The intentional
medication noncompliance with the mean of (2.82±0.96) was higher than unintentional medication
noncompliance with the mean of (0.23±0.47). There was inconsistency between adherence to Medication and
demographic information, which indicates the fact that medication non-adherence, was not seen in the whole
study population.
Conclusion: Considering that almost the majority of patients did not have medication adherence after
angioplasty and were referred for repeat angioplasty, therefore, nurses should help with the prevention of
repeat angioplasty through the use of appropriate measures influencing adherence to the therapeutic plan at
discharge from the hospital.
