Several factors can contribute to adherence issues in children:
1. Complex Medication Regimens: Multiple medications or complicated dosing schedules can be overwhelming for both children and caregivers. 2. Side Effects: Fear of potential side effects may discourage adherence. 3. Lack of Understanding: Both children and caregivers might not fully understand the importance of the treatment. 4. Psychosocial Factors: Stress, depression, or family dynamics can impact adherence. 5. Forgetfulness: Busy schedules can lead to missed doses or appointments.
