Özet
Purpose: This study aims to investigate the effects of loneliness, perceived social support, and depression on medication adherence of patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Design and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 119 AS patients. Data were collected using the Morisky-Green-Levine Medication Adherence Scale, the UCLA Loneliness Scale (ULS), the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Findings: Nonadherent patients were younger (P =.033), scored higher on the ULS (P =.015), and BDI (P =.024) scales, and lower on the MSPSS scale (P =.039) and on family support (P =.002). Practical Implications: The biopsychosocial aspects of patients with AS should be managed holistically to improve their medication adherence.
