Summary

We will conduct a cross-sectional study involving adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Our primary objective is to evaluate the association between nonattendance and participants' adherence to both pharmacological and non-pharmacological medical recommendations, as well as COVID-19 prevention measures. Additionally, we will assess the adherence rates to these medical recommendations, COVID-19 prevention protocols, and the recommended health care practices and controls for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Detailed description

Non-attendance at outpatient visits and lack of adherence to medical recommendations are prevalent issues that negatively impact the health care system. While tools exist to assess pharmacological adherence, evaluating adherence to non-pharmacological recommendations remains challenging. Some studies suggest using nonattendance as an objective and easily measurable marker of adherence. The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between nonattendance and adherence to medical recommendations in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. We will conduct a cross-sectional study involving adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. We will evaluate the association between participants' nonattendance and their adherence to both pharmacological and non-pharmacological medical recommendations, as well as COVID-19 prevention measures. Additionally, we will assess the adherence rates to these recommendations, COVID-19 prevention measures, and the recommended health care practices and controls for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
