Özet

Objective: Noncompliance is considered as a widespread but often neglected problem all over the world. In order to promote compliance, it is essential to first know the current drug use situation. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the level of drug compliance in patients of a primary healthcare centre and identify factors which affect the patients' drug compliance in Turkey.
