Factors contributing to poor concordance in health care

Article Abstract:

The nurses expect patients to follow advice but they do not always do so and this results in nonconcordance and the failure of the patients to follow the advice of health professionals is known as noncompliance that is generally considered to be a substantial problem. Some of the causes of poor concordance can be given as practical difficulties such as access to pharmacy, the problems with side effects in medication, interference with daily lives and intentional lack of concordance.
