Abstract EN
The Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Consultation Model for Adherence conceptualises the consultation process specific to patient adherence.
It can be used to improve patient persistence with treatment by TCM practitioners and possibly other health professionals.
The aim of this research was to determine the applicability of the TCM Consultation Model for Adherence in the wider complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) setting.
A survey containing validated questionnaires and items developed specifically to test the model was administered online in the United Kingdom.
SPSS 25 was used to perform Spearman’s correlations and Mann–Whitney U tests on the data.
In total, 101 patients completed the survey.
The results showed that patients having a therapeutic relationship and trusting in their practitioner was associated with overall adherence to CAM, while patients feeling supported was associated with all types of adherence to CAM.
Specific behaviours of the TCM Consultation Model for Adherence that were positively correlated with adherence to CAM were identified.
They could potentially be used by CAM practitioners to improve their patients’ adherence with treatment.
