Which of the factors below is a patient related factor associated with medication non-adherence?

  1. Trust inn their physician

  2. Denial of their illness

  3. Forgetfulness

  4. Medication adverse effects

The correct answer is: Denial of their illness

A patient's denial of their illness is a factor related to medication non-adherence because they may not fully accept that they need to take medication, leading them to not adhere to their prescribed regimen. Trust in their physician and medication adverse effects may also be factors, but they are not directly related to their denial of their illness. Forgetfulness could also contribute to non-adherence, but it is not specifically linked to a patient's beliefs or perception of their illness.
