Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate compliance in treatment of patients with temporomandibular joint disorders and to investigate the association of specific factors with compliance. Material and Methods: The studied population consisted of 122 patients with temporomandibular joint disorders. A questionnaire with closing questions was used, consist- ing of the BIPQ questionnaire for illness perception, the DISQ questionnaire which is a patient-based instrument for providing feedback to doctors on their interpersonal skills within the consultation, the BMQ questionnaire which explores both patient’s medication-taking behavior and barriers to adherence. The socio-demographic data of the patients, clinical information and medical history data, and Clinics, were evaluated also. Compliance was assessed by questionnaire with closing questions, which the patients themselves completed. Results: Among the 122 patients, 28 were male (23%) and 94 were female (77%). Patient compliance calculated to 52.4%. Significant statistical correlation was not found for all the factors investigated. Positive correlation with compliance has been found for some factors such as age, educational level, disease duration, perception of disease and drugs.
