Patients that require longstanding treatment for persistent illnesses like glaucoma, tend to be more coherent to therapeutic advice.
Moreover, components that can lead to therapeutic coherence are analyzed using the Rational Choice Theory. Further investigations from distinct resources have been observed to explore whether or not this theory can provide thorough reasoning as to why persons dislike following through with therapeutic recommendations. Other than the components associated with the theory, biological and social components were assumed to also offer…show more content… This theory can only assist with forecasting the extent of a patient cohering since persons are not predictable. Solely pivoting factors of non-coherence associated with the theory only render a single perspective on non-coherence. Moreover, although socio-cultural and biological components were not observed in this essay, they are equally critical in the phenomenon of non-coherence to therapeutic recommendations. For example, a patient who obtained genetically traits of hostility will exert an opposed conformity, because of their dislike of receiving
