Statement of Purpose
The objective of this study was to observe the effects that systemic lupus had on a patient’s everyday life, what the main concerns were about the disease, and how that would impact compliance with treatment for the disease.
Research Question Hypothesis
The researchers hypothesized that certain factors in the patient’s life had a direct impact on the adherence and non-adherence to a treatment plan. Concerns, expectations, and even pre-exisiting ideas about the disease played a major role in compliance and good patient outcomes.
