The impact of emotional regulation on treatment burden in the primary care population

Abstract

For the 60% of the US population living with one or more chronic conditions, understanding how emotional regulation contributes to treatment burden is an unstudied, yet potentially important dynamic affecting self-management adherence.

Our findings indicate emotional regulation appears to be an important factor in determining the level of cumulative, medication and dietary treatment burden a patient experiences when engaging in their daily self-management regimen. Most importantly, findings demonstrate that improving emotional regulation can reduce the amount of burden a patient experiences thereby improving subsequent adherence to a self-management regimen.
