简要总结
Background and Rationale:
Vitamin D deficiency is a major public health concern. While clinical guidelines provide treatment protocols, medication adherence remains a significant barrier to achieving target serum levels. This study aims to evaluate whether a structured patient education program can improve health beliefs and adherence, ultimately leading to better clinical outcomes.
Study Procedures:
Participants identified with Vitamin D levels <30 ng/mL will be randomized into two groups.
Intervention Group:
Patients will receive a face-to-face education session covering the importance of Vitamin D, correct usage, and potential side effects. They will also receive informative brochures and monthly follow-up phone calls to support adherence.
Control Group:
Patients will receive standard clinical care without additional structured education.Evaluation:Adherence will be monitored using the Medication Possession Ratio (MPR). Serum 25(OH)D levels and Vitamin D Health Belief Scale scores will be reassessed at the 3-month mark to compare the effectiveness of the intervention against the control group.
