L'adesione al trattamento è stata definita come la consonanza del comportamento di una persona alle indicazioni mediche (Fawcett, 1995; Myers & Nidence, 1998). Le revisioni della letteratura orientate ad analizzare questo argomento rilevano che, nei Paesi sviluppati, solo il 50% dei pazienti affetti da patologie croniche aderisce al trattamento, mentre nei Paesi in via di sviluppo si riscontrano tassi ancora più bassi. Per esempio, negli Stati Uniti, circa 50 milioni di adulti sono affetti da ipertensione, ma solo il 50% di essi sono stati diagnosticati e trattati adeguatamente; tra i pazienti trattati soltanto il 51% aderisce al trattamento. Analogamente, in Australia, solo il 43% dei pazienti affetti da asma assume i farmaci prescritti per l 'intera durata del trattamento e solo il 27.8% usa i farmaci prescritti come preventer (World Health Organization, 2001). Sul piano della frequenza, l 'analisi della letteratura indica che tra il 20% e il 90% dei pazienti affetti da disturbi psichici abbandona il trattamento, con un 'ampia variabilità di incidenza dovuta alle differenze nella definizione di mancata adesione e alla diversità dei campioni studiati.
