In this sense, the present investigation focuses on studying and analyzing all the possible biopsychosocial factors that can affect the health behaviors carried out by the patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus, and the follow-up of medical prescriptions. General objective: To establish the relationship between biopsychosocial factors and adherence to pharmacological treatment in elderly patients suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus treated at the IESS Hospital in Babahoyo in the period from October 2018 to April 2019. Methodology: This is a historical-logical, descriptive and transversal research, the research method is inductive-deductive, the modality will be qualitative-quantitative. Results: The present investigation consisted of a sample of 84 older adults diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus. There was a slightly higher percentage of men (60.70%) than women (39.30%). Conclusions: With regard to the therapeutic adherence prescribed by the physician, it was found that 69 patients (82.14%) reported not systematically fulfilling the usual pharmacological treatment for various reasons. According to the level of acceptance that these patients have regarding the disease they suffer, it was shown that a large percentage (29.08%) of these still do not fully accept suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus. |
