Their findings, like oases in the desert, offer valuable insights into the psychological factors influencing treatment outcomes. They discovered that patients who self-terminated ZDV treatment were more likely to hold negative beliefs about the medication, viewing it as harmful and questioning its effectiveness.The Importance of Patient Beliefs in Medication Adherence

The study emphasizes the need for open communication between healthcare providers and patients, creating a trusting environment where concerns and beliefs can be openly discussed.
