Summary: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of self-efficacy on adherence to self-management and medication among patients with chronic diseases in China. A cross-sectional survey was conducted on 2047 patients in 120 cities. The results showed that self-efficacy was significantly associated with adherence to self-management, but not with medication adherence. Subgroup analysis revealed a positive correlation between self-efficacy and adherence to self-management in patients with multiple chronic diseases, while no significant association was found in those with only one chronic disease. Enhanced health education may improve adherence to self-management and medication in daily life.

Summary: This review investigates the effects of eHealth interventions on medication adherence in patients with COPD or asthma. The results show mixed effects, possibly due to the type, context, and intensity of the interventions, as well as differences in the operationalization and measurement of adherence outcomes. Further research is needed to fully understand the potential of eHealth in optimizing treatment adherence for COPD and asthma.

Summary: The widespread treatment of hypertension and improvements in blood pressure have led to a decline in heart disease and stroke, but there is still a gap between public health targets and actual blood pressure control rates. Medication nonadherence is a key factor contributing to this gap, and the scientific statement aims to summarize its impact and strategies for improving adherence.

Summary: Current evidence shows a disproportionate focus on high-income countries and hospital settings in digital health interventions. This review examines the use and effectiveness of digital health interventions for non-communicable disease management in low- and middle-income countries' primary healthcare settings. The study identifies factors influencing the uptake of these interventions and highlights the need for future research and practices to enhance their effectiveness.
