Medication Beliefs in Patients Following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Cross-sectional Study

---

Patients post percutaneous coronary intervention need to take medication for their health. Beliefs about medication influence patients’ adherence in taking their medication regimens. Therefore, the study aimed to identify medication beliefs in patients following percutaneous coronary intervention in Indonesia. This research used a cross-sectional study with the convenience sampling method. A total of 132 adult patients following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention participated in this study. This study used The Beliefs about Medicines Questionnaire to identify patients’ beliefs about medication. The majority of respondents were male (85.6%) with a mean age of 60 years. Beliefs about general overuse were found to be the highest among other categories; specific-necessity, specific concern, and general harm. Elucidating patients’ beliefs about the medication will provide health care providers with a better understanding of patient medication behaviors after percutaneous coronary intervention. Recognition of patients’ beliefs may aid in targeting specific intervention programs to improve patients’ adherence to medication following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention procedure.
