- The validation process involved evaluating face and construct validity among 71 patients, with significant findings on patients’ abilities to communicate with healthcare providers and manage drug intake issues.
- Ultimately, the questionnaire proved to be a reliable tool for measuring MM patients' adherence and management skills regarding IMID treatments.
