ABSTRACT
Objective To survey the compliance degree of patients with allergic rhinitis completing their specific desensitizing therapy and to evaluate the relating factors with this compliance degree, and to explore the nursing countermeasures. Methods A retrospective study was carried out in 186 patients with allergic rhinitis receiving specific immunotherapy from January 2007 to December 2008. Noncompliance patients were contacted with scheduled telephone interviews to investigate the causes. Results Compliance rate was 71.0%,primary reason for non-compliance is poor efficacy (16 patients, 29.6% ), followed by busy work or study (10 patients, 18.5%) and disappearance of symptoms (7 patiens, 13.0%). Conclusions The compliance degree of AR patients receiving specific desensitizing therapy is still poor, but the reasons for non-compliance can be controlled by many factors, compliance is still much room for improvement.
