چکیده
Objective The optimal level of adherence necessary to achieve acceptable disease and quality-of-life outcomes for patients is not known. In order to identify these optimal levels, we need reliable and valid measures of adherence. Medication Adherence Scale in FMF (MASIF) is an instrument designed to measure adherence to treatment in children with Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF). We have developed this scale for children with FMF and found valid and reliable. In this study, it was aimed to assess the validity and reliability of this adherence scale for medical treatment in adult FMF patients.
