Background and Objectives: Diabetes mellitus is a common chronic disease with a rapidly increasing global prevalence, of which type 2 diabetes accounts for over 90% of cases [1]. In 2021, the prevalence among individuals aged 20–79 years was 10.5% and is projected to rise significantly by 2045, imposing a substantial economic burden [2]. In Vietnam, the prevalence is also increasing, with a high risk of complications if treatment adherence is poor. However, non-adherence remains common at the primary healthcare level. This study aimed to describe treatment adherence and identify related factors among patients with type 2 diabetes at My Loc Commune Health Station, Tay Ninh Province in 2026.
Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 235 patients with type 2 diabetes receiving treatment at My Loc Commune Health Station in 2026.
Results: The proportion of patients with full adherence was 54.47%, while 45.53% were non-adherent. In univariate analysis, employment status, duration of diabetes, and particularly family support were significantly associated with treatment adherence.
Conclusion: Treatment adherence among patients with type 2 diabetes remains suboptimal and inconsistent across different aspects. Factors such as duration of diabetes, employment status, and especially family support were associated with treatment adherence in univariate analysis. Strengthening patient support and health education interventions is necessary to improve adherence behaviors and optimize disease management outcomes.
