There are multiple barriers to treatment adherence in Pediatrics, including:
Complexity of the Regimen: Multifaceted or frequent dosing schedules can be challenging to follow, especially for younger children. Lack of Understanding: Caregivers or children may not fully understand the importance of the treatment or how to administer it correctly. Side Effects: Adverse effects from medications may cause reluctance in continuing the treatment. Psychosocial Factors: Family stress, mental health issues, and socioeconomic factors can impact adherence negatively. Forgetfulness: Both children and caregivers may simply forget doses or appointments.
