Gender Based Cognitive Determinants Of Medication Adherence In Older Adults With Chronic Conditions.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundLife course gender-role traits and social stereotypes could affect the pattern of medication adherence in old age.
objectivesThe main purpose of this study was to investigate gender based cognitive determinants of medication adherence in a sample of older adults who suffer from at least a chronic condition.
methodsIn this cross-sectional design, 455 older adults participated from five health centers in Tabriz city, Iran from June to August 2017 using a random sampling method. Next, required data about medication adherence, knowledge and beliefs about prescribed medications, perceived self-efficacy in medication adherence, illness perception, and reasons for medication non-adherence were gathered using a structured written questionnaire through face-to-face interviews with the attendees.
resultsLow medication adherence was reported by 54.5% of the study participants. Perceived self-efficacy for medication adherence (OR = 1.04; 95% CI: 1.00, 1.08) and medication adherence reason (OR = 0.96; 95% CI: 0.92, 0.99) were two identified strong predictors of medication adherence among the studied older men. Illness perception (OR = 1.02; 95% CI: 1.00, 1.02) and beliefs toward prescribed medication (OR = 0.95; 95% CI: 0.93, 0.98) were both recognized as the significant predictors of medication adherence in the older women subgroup.
conclusionGender based variations were noted regarding the medication adherence in the studied sample and attributes of cognitive function were the main pinpointed elucidating parameters for the non-conformity. The explicit cognitive processes must be considered in care provision or interventional programs that target medication adherence in older adults.
