Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this article was to analyze influence of patient communication strategies on treatment adherence in Canada. Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries. Findings: Effective communication strategies, including personalized messaging and active listening, improve treatment adherence in Canada. Empathetic, tailored interactions boost patient trust and compliance. Integrating digital tools and education further enhances adherence and health outcomes. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The health belief model (HBM), social cognitive theory (SCT) & self-determination theory (SDT) may be used to anchor future studies on the influence of patient communication strategies on treatment adherence in Canada. From a practical standpoint, healthcare organizations are encouraged to implement comprehensive training programs for clinicians that emphasize effective, patient-centered communication. Policy initiatives should focus on standardizing patient communication protocols across healthcare settings to ensure consistency and equity in care delivery.
