Abstract

The present study had the aim of identifying in the literature the factors that influence adherence to therapy by elderly individuals with diabetes mellitus. An integrative review with qualitative textual analysis was conducted. The search was conducted at the Portal of Periodicals of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel and included Brazilian publications in eight databases between January 2002 and September 2016. A total of 12 studies was selected from the 187 that were found, generating two categories: factors that influence adherence to therapy by elderly individuals with diabetes mellitus positively; and factors that influence adherence to therapy by elderly individuals with diabetes mellitus negatively. The fact that only publications with low levels of evidence were found revealed the need for further studies on the theme and intensification of the awareness-raising dialogue with elderly individuals and their families in order to maximize and/or maintain their quality of life, autonomy, and independence.
