Specification of a treatment adherence model

Abstract

Roughly speaking, the promotion of self-care is due to the guidelines of international organizations that seek to reduce social spending on medical care, but with the emphasis on personal responsibility. The objective of this paper is to discuss this formula, establishing a model for the study of the phenomenon. Documentary work was carried out with a non-probabilistic selection of sources indexed to national repositories, considering the year of publication, as well as the inclusion of concepts: "health policy", "medical assistance programs", "prevention strategies" and " self-care. " Research lines concerning the extension of the model are noted.
