dc.description.abstractAim: Although doctors in the emergency medicine department report high career and life satisfaction rates, burnout and stress may occur after working many years, resulting in several incompatibilities and risks. The Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) is a simple, reliable, verified self-report measure to assess medication adherence. In our study, we planned to evaluate the treatment compliance of emergency medicine specialists with the MMAS-8 scale. Material and Method: This study employed a cross-sectional descriptive design. The emergency medical experts were contacted online to self-report their medication-taking behaviors using the MMAS-8. The MMAS-8 was evaluated using factor analysis. The treatment combinations of emergency medicine specialists were assessed in terms of chronic disease, the number of night shifts, and the number of medications used. Results: The MMAS-8 was assessed by KMO and Barlett analyses for structural validity and adequate sampling group evaluation. The average score obtained from the MMAS-8 was found to be 3.99±2.52. When chronic disease and medication adherence were considered, the MMAS-8 scores revealed low adherence in cases of chronic diseases (p=0.025). Conclusion: The treatment of patients with chronic diseases is very difficult. As found in this study, although the patients were doctors, medication adherence was low. It is known that emergency medical professionals have a high incidence of chronic diseases and mortality. Furthermore, low medication adherence with chronic or acute treatment increases risks.en_US
