The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between symptoms, self-efficacy, the patient-doctor relationship and compliance with medication by patients with epilepsy . Patients with epilepsy ( n = 357) were recruited using sampling from three medical centres in northern Taiwan. Results showed significant differences in the relationships between medication adherence and the following factors: gender, employment status, chronic co-morbidities, self-drive, daily medication dosing frequency, epileptic seizures after a missed dose and self-efficacy.
