This question addresses unintentional medication non-adherence. Unintentional medication non-adherence is a passive process in which the patient does not adhere to how the medication is prescribed because of several domains of non-adherence such as they forget, don’t understand, or because of poor health literacy.
As a healthcare provider you can tailor your counseling when you understand why the patient is forgetting to take their medication. The MMAS-8 scale is not only used for measuring the magnitude of non-adherence but also provides a diagnostic assessment as to why the patient is non-adherent so health care providers can tailor educational counseling sessions and motivational interviewing questions to improve their medication taking behavior.
