Abstract：Objective:To investigate the compliance of using eye drops in patients with dry eye and analyze its influencing factors so as to provide guidance for improving the compliance of using eye drops in the patients.Methods:80 patients with dry eye admitted from Janu-ary 1,2021 to January 31,2023 were selected as the research objects.The Morisky Medication Adherence Scale(MMAS-8)was used to e-valuate the compliance of using eye drops in the patients with dry eye and the influencing factors of compliance were analyzed,and the ef-fective improvement countermeasures were explored.Results:Among the 80 patients with dry eye,39 cases(48.75%)had good compliance and 41 cases(51.25%)had poor compliance.Univariate analysis showed that the patients of poor compliance group were over 50 years old,their education level below senior high school,daily medication frequency≥3 times,types of drugs≥3,and the proportion of adverse reac-tions were higher than that in the good compliance group(P<0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that the factors mentioned above were re-garded as the risk factors affecting the compliance of using eye drops in patients with dry eye(P<0.05).Conclusion:The compliance of u-sing eye drops is low in patients with dry eye,and advanced age,low education level,high ferquency of medication,many kinds of drugs and adverse reactions are the important inflvencing factors of complance.Therefore the effective intervention should be implemented consid-ering the influencing factors.
