Key result
Applying the information-motivation-behavioral skills model significantly increased treatment adherence scores at six months (73.80 vs 52.40) compared to standard care in patients with cardiovascular disease.
Why the study?
Non-adherence complicates the management of patients with cardiovascular disease, motivating an evaluation of an Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills model-based intervention on treatment adherence.
Population
112 patients with cardiovascular disease in two hospitals in Shiraz, Iran
Comparison
Information-motivation-behavioral skills intervention vs control
Design
Quasi-experimental study
Follow-up

Zahmatkeshan et al. (2021) studied Cardiovascular disease (n=110). Information-motivation-behavioral skills (IMB) model vs. Standard care was evaluated on Treatment adherence score at 6 months (p=<0.001). Applying the information-motivation-behavioral skills model significantly increased treatment adherence scores at six months (73.80 vs 52.40) compared to standard care in patients with cardiovascular disease.
