Radomski defines adherence : Adherence has been defined as the degree to which patients and research participants act in accord with the advice of their clinician or researcher (Moseley, 2006, p. 662). Moseley, G. L. (2006).Do training diaries affect and reflect adherence to home programs? Arthritis and Rheumatism, 55, 662 664. doi: 10.1002/art.22086
Despite the evidence that people with chronic health conditions may not adhere to their health care providers recommendations, the issue of non- adherence remains largely ignored by occupational therapy clinicians and researchers. The term itself is omitted from the profession s official vocabulary (American Occupational Therapy Association [AOTA], 2008)...

The only significant predictors of adherence were a belief that home modifications can prevent falls and having help at home from relatives.

Adherence: Gibson, Greene, Sample, & Cabrera
Cumming et al. (2001) found the only significant predictors of adherence were a belief that home modifications can prevent falls and having help at home from relatives.
Feinberg (1992) found that adding adherence-enhancing strategies such as using learning principles and shared expectation was linked with greater use of resting hand splints than was standard care.
Hammond and Freeman (2004) also demonstrated that the nature of client education for joint protection made a difference in terms of adherence at 4-yr follow-up. The people with rheumatoid arthritis who were randomly assigned to the behavioral approach (practicing strategies, goal setting, planning home programs) had significantly better joint protection adherence, less morning stiffness, and higher activities of daily living (ADL) scores than those who received standard care.
