Abstract: Highlights It is essential to identify problems in the pharmacological treatment process so that healthcare professionals can provide appropriate care. Satisfaction with pharmacological treatment among adults with type 2 diabetes may optimize disease control. Given the high percentage of adults with uncontrolled blood glucose, further research and actions are needed in this population group. Active listening can strengthen the healthcare professional-patient relationship. Introduction:The management of Type 2 Diabetes should be based on a person-centered approach to ensure the appropriate selection of pharmacological treatment. Satisfaction with pharmacological treatment is a patient-reported assessment measure that evaluates the treatment process and related factors, which may enhance adherence and glycemic control. Objective:To determine the strength of association between satisfaction with pharmacological treatment and adherence for glycemic control in adults with Type 2 Diabetes. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional predictive study with model testing was conducted. A total of 146 participants with Type 2 Diabetes were enrolled using snowball sampling. The Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (DTSQ), the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-4), and a sociodemographic and clinical data form were administered, and glycated hemoglobin level was measured. Associations were estimated using multiple linear regression.Results: Adherence to pharmacological treatment only predicted glucose control. The difference in glycated hemoglobin between adherent and non-adherent individuals was 0.22 lower in adherent individuals (β = -0.22, F = 2.95, p = 0.001).Discussion: The results differ from other studies that have reported subsequent changes in glycated hemoglobin associated with treatment satisfaction. Conclusions: The results differ from other studies that have reported subsequent changes in glycated hemoglobin associated with treatment satisfaction.
