Compliance in Context: An Exploratory Study of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease From the Interactional Perspective
Abstract
dc:descriptionApproximately half of all chronic medical patients do not adhere to their physicians' advice, a phenomenon that is poorly understood even after hundreds of empirical compliance studies. A qualitative research method offers the potential to identify more productive avenues of investigation. This study employed a combination of participant observation, interviewing, and documents in the form of pulmonary medical records.
