Review : Adherence to health advice amongst young people with chronic illness

{blacksquare} A literature review was undertaken to identify factors that may influence adherence to health advice amongst chronically ill young people.

{blacksquare} It emerged from the literature that internal and external factors influenced adherence in this client group.

{blacksquare} Internal influences were associated with adolescent biopsychosocial development and intra-personal dynamics.

{blacksquare} External factors were linked to interpersonal dynamics between the young person, family, peers, health care professionals and society as a whole.

{blacksquare} It is proposed that the difficulties in adherence to health advice were often due to 'adultist' beliefs.

{blacksquare} The implications of these findings are relevant to all health professionals involved in promoting health and in the development of approaches to promote 'young person-centred adherence.'

Key Words: Adherence • Adolescence • Chronic Illness • Compliance • Health Advice • Young People.
