This study examined the relationship between medication adherence, clinical outcomes, and quality of life for 40 type 2 diabetes patients in Medan, Indonesia. Patients had low adherence on average and poor clinical markers like an HbA1c of 9.1% and random blood glucose of 280 mg/dl. Adherence was strongly correlated with HbA1c and moderately correlated with blood glucose. A weak correlation was found between adherence and quality of life, suggesting quality of life may improve with better adherence. The results indicate medication adherence significantly impacts clinical outcomes and quality of life for type 2 diabetes patients.

ABSTRACT
Objective: This study aimed to determine the relationship between medication adherence to clinical
outcomes and quality of life of type 2 DM patients.

Method: This study used a cross-sectional study design involving 40 types 2 DM patients who met the
inclusion criteria at a community pharmacy in Medan city from August - September 2020. Compliance
level data were obtained using the MMAS-8 (Morisky Medication Adherence Scale-8) questionnaire, data
on random blood glucose levels and HbA1C values were obtained from direct examination of patients,
and data on patient quality of life were obtained using the EQ-5D-3L questionnaire. The data were
analyzed using the Spearman Rho correlation test.

Result: The results showed that the average patient had a low level of adherence with an average HbA1C
value of 9.1%, random blood glucose of 280 mg/dl, and quality of life of 84.7%. The results of the
correlation test showed a significant relationship between the level of adherence and clinical outcome
with a moderate correlation value at random blood glucose (r = -0.591) and a strong correlation value on
HbA1C (r = -0.817). The relationship between the level of adherence and quality of life had a weak
correlation value (r = 0.233), this indicates that the quality of life can improve with increasing medication
adherence.

Conclusion: Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the level of patient treatment
adherence greatly affects the clinical outcome and quality of life of type 2 DM patients.

Keywords: Type 2 diabetes mellitus, Adherence, Clinical outcome, Quality of life.
