Purpose: The purpose of this study was to conceptually analyze non-compliance in elderly diabetic patients and its specific attributes.
Method: Walker and Avant’s process of concept analysis was used. We searched databases using the keywords ‘older diabetes', 'patient compliance', and 'treatment non-compliance'.
Result: The attributes of non-compliance in elderly diabetic patients were identified as follows: 1) Non-compliance with medication therapy, 2) Non-compliance with lifestyle therapy, and 3) Hospital visit non-compliance. The antecedents of non-compliance in elderly diabetic patients were as follows: 1) Lack of knowledge, 2) Low self-efficacy, and 3) Low social support. The consequences of non-compliance were: 1) Blood sugar control problems and 2) Diabetic complications.
Conclusion: This concept analysis defined non-compliance in elderly diabetic patients based on theoretical evidence. The findings of this study will contribute to developing systematic programs to increase compliance in elderly diabetic patients.
