Data on adherence to medication in neurological patients using the German Stendal Adherence to Medication Score (SAMS).

ABSTRACT: This article presents demographic, socio-economic and detailed adherence to medication data from 429 patients with neurological disorders. Adherence to medication was assessed using the German Stendal Adherence to Medication Score (SAMS). The SAMS questionnaire includes 18 questions forming a cumulative scale (0 - 72) in which 0 indicates complete adherence and 72 complete non-adherence. The SAMS covers different aspects of adherence/non-adherence, such as intentional modification of medication, missing knowledge about reasons/dosage/timing of medication and forgetting to take medication. The dataset allows determining different reasons and clusters of adherence to medication. The dataset can be used as by clinicians, pharmacists and academia for further research and as reference.
