Ensuring compliance in pediatric patients comes with its own set of challenges:
Behavioral Issues: Children, especially those with behavioral problems, may resist taking medications or following dietary restrictions. Adolescence: Teenagers may experience a sense of invincibility or embarrassment about their condition, leading to non-compliance. Cultural Beliefs: Diverse cultural backgrounds may influence the perception and acceptance of medical treatments. Mental Health: Both the child and the caregivers' mental health can impact their ability to remain compliant with treatment. Physical Barriers: Conditions such as mobility issues or distance from healthcare facilities can also affect compliance.
