Adherence to prescribed HIV-1 protease inhibitors in the home setting.
The issue of adherence to any therapy prescribed by a health care provider is multidimensional and includes personal challenges that exist in the daily life of any client, as well as the individual practices and attitudes of the health care provider. In addition, since most health is delivered in congregate settings such as the hospital, clinic, or office, it is important to consider those factors that may be present in a client's home that can impede compliant behavior. This article reviews challenges to compliance that should be considered when developing a care plan for clients, focusing on variables that may be present in the home setting.
