Objective:

To evaluate the effectiveness of a structured, motivational interviewing-based coaching program on medication adherence and glaucoma-related distress.

Key Findings:
  • SEE group showed significantly higher adherence (mean 78%) compared to controls (mean 58%).
  • 55% of SEE participants achieved at least 80% adherence, versus 24% of controls.
  • The intervention led to a meaningful reduction in glaucoma-related distress, particularly in emotional burden and regimen-related distress.
Interpretation:

The SEE program demonstrates that personalized, motivational interviewing-based coaching can effectively enhance medication adherence and reduce distress in glaucoma patients.

Limitations:
  • The study was conducted at two specific health systems, which may limit generalizability.
  • Long-term effects beyond the 6-month period were not assessed.
Conclusion:

The findings support the use of multifaceted, personalized interventions for improving adherence and reducing distress in glaucoma management.
