adherence of Liberian patients: a moderating role of social support. This is because a
lot of patients do not take their medications as directed by their doctors or other
medical professionals. Examples include not comprehending the directions,
forgetfulness, taking multiple medications with various regimens, experiencing
undesirable side effects, or the medication not appearing to be working. Cost can also
be a factor in medication adherence where patients cannot afford to fill their
prescriptions or choose to take less than the recommended dose to extend the duration
of the prescription.
However, a quantitative research approach was chosen for this study. Using structured
data collection techniques, theoretically derived research hypotheses were examined
using correlation and multiple regression analysis. And the result shows that health
literacy have moderate influence on medication adherence among Liberian patients
and this influece can also be moderated by the role social support.
