| Research Abstract |
The objectives of this study were to develop medication adherence questionnaires and a psychoeducational program for children with mental health problems, and their mothers. We created the medication adherence questionnaires, based on the 10-item Drug Attitude Inventory (DAI-10). The questionnaires were named the Child Adherence Questionnaire (CAQ) and the Mother Adherence Questionnaire (MAQ). We then investigated the reliability and suitability of each questionnaire as a scale of medication adherence in each group. The CAQ was found to be internally consistent and confirmed concurrent validity. Additionally, some patient characteristics were found to correlate with CAQ and MAQ scores. We developed a psychoeducational program and teaching materials for children with mental health problems and their mothers based on the results of our work and previously published studies.
