Abstract

The adherence to treatment (TA) maintained by patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM2) is influenced by many internal and external factors; among which are the beliefs associated with the disease. The objective of this documentary review is to present the main beliefs that affect TA of people suffering from this disease. Taking as results of studies from various countries of the world, where beliefs towards medicines were explored, insulin use and its possible adverse effects, self-efficacy beliefs, control beliefs, beliefs about diabetes in general that affect how patients perceive the context of what they are experiencing. Where the decrease in self-care behaviours was observed consequently. It is concluded that beliefs are an important factor for which more research is still needed on the relationship they have with TA in people with DM2, to provide information to support more effective interventions to increase patient self-management and better levels of glycaemic control.
