SPUR: psychometric properties of a patient-reported outcome measure of medication adherence in type 2 diabetes

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Poor medication adherence is associated with worsening patient health outcomes and increasing healthcare costs. A holistic tool to assess both medication adherence and drivers of adherence behaviour has yet to be developed. This study aimed to examine SPUR, a multifactorial patient-reported outcome measure of medication adherence in patients living with type 2 diabetes, with a view to develop a suitable model for psychometric analysis. Furthermore, the study aimed to explore the relationship between the SPUR model and socio-clinical factors of medication adherence.

Research design and methods

The study recruited 378 adult patients living with type 2 diabetes from a mix of community and secondary-care settings to participate in this non-interventional cross-se
