Abstract
The study was conducted to find the impact of fear of progression and perceived social support
on medication adherence in adults with diabetes mellitus. It was hypothesized that there is likely
to be a relationship between fear of progression, perceived social support and medication
adherence in adults with diabetes mellitus type I. It was also hypothesized that medication
adherence is likely to be predict in adults with diabetes mellitus type I. A qualitative survey
questionnaire was conducted to collect data from 150 participants (Males= 87 and Females= 63)
with age 40 and above years (M= 54.55, SD= 7.41). Fear of progression-SF (FoP-SF),
Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), and Medication Adherence
Rating Scale (MARS) were the scales used in the study. Descriptive and inferential statistics was
used to get results. Findings showed positive relationship between fear of progression, perceived
social support and medication adherence. Furthermore, it was found that medication adherence
was better in adults with diabetes mellitus type I. Findings of this study will help raise awareness
regarding the fear of disease progression in diabetics along with an emphasis on perceived social
support to enhance well-being of individuals.
