AB Background: Psychopharmacological medication adherence is essential for psychiatric patients’treatment and well-being.Objective: This review aimed to identify psychological factors related to health control that have beenlinked to psychopharmacological medication adherence in psychiatric patients.Methods: A literature search was performed through the databases Medline, PubMed, PsycINFO, andGoogle Scholar to identify relevant studies published before October 15th, 2019. Articles published inpeer-reviewed journals that analyzed the psychological factors of health belief and health controlinvolved in psychopharmacological medication adherence in a psychiatric population were included.Results: The search identified 124 potentially relevant papers, 29 of which met the eligibility criteria. Thefinal sample was 222 adolescents, most with a diagnosis of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder(ADHD), and 6139 adults diagnosed especially with schizophrenia spectrum disorder, bipolar disorder, ordepressive disorder. Results suggested that medication adherence is associated with health beliefs andpsychological variables, such as self-efficacy and locus of control. Family support was also positivelyrelated to medication adherence.Conclusion: Psychopharmacological medication adherence requires a consideration of multicausality,which depends on sociodemographic, clinical, and psychological factors.Practice implications: These findings should be considered in the development and implementation ofpsychological interventions focused on self-control and family support.
