Resumen

Introduction: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic disease that affects multiple systems and may include neurological and psychiatric events that could compromise treatment adherence and long-term outcomes in SLE. Objective: To evaluate treatment adherence in patients with diffuse neuropsychiatric disorders associated with SLE. Methodology: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted. Treatment adherence was evaluated with the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) in patients with diffuse neuropsychiatric disorders associated with SLE (cognitive impairment, psychosis, mood disorders, and anxiety). Results: A total of 60 patients with neuropsychiatric disorders associated with SLE were included. Thirteen patients (21.6%) had high adherence, 9 (15%) had medium adherence, and 38 patients (63.3%) had low treatment adherence. Conclusion: This study has identified that almost two-thirds of the participants (63.3%) had low treatment adherence.
