Adherence: a concept analysis.

PURPOSE To utilize a Wilsonian method of concept analysis to define and describe the concept of adherence. DATA SOURCES Published research articles, nursing literature, published books, and national and international advisory reports. DATA SYNTHESIS The concept of adherence was analyzed using the Wilson method. Results, applications, and practice implications in regards to the concept of adherence were then derived from the analysis. CONCLUSIONS Adherence is a complex, multifaceted concept that can greatly impact patient behaviors and nursing practice. Further clarification of adherence is needed to help delineate this concept from other related terms. IMPLICATIONS Healthcare providers should have an understanding of the concept of adherence in the context of patient care in order to guide patient self-care behaviors.
