Implication

Observational analysis shows that defense maturity predicts adherence to treatment in cardiovascular patients, indicating the role of frustration reactions.

Key Points

Higher defense maturity is linked to better adherence to treatment, with a significant connection noted.
Patients using more mature defenses displayed positive frustration reactions, leading to the highest treatment adherence rates.
Using structural equation modeling revealed a positive indirect effect of defense maturity on adherence through frustration reaction types.
A middle level of treatment adherence was observed, with 30% of participants categorized as low-adherent.
