The benefits in symptom relief and preventing disease progression are well documented. Despite this, adherence to compression stocking therapy is poor. This project aimed to identify factors affecting compression stocking adherence in Aotearoa New Zealand through qualitative evaluation of interviews of patients with chronic venous insufficiency.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Methods<\/jats:title>In this mixed\u2010methods study, 25 participants were recruited, and semi\u2010structured interviews were carried out until thematic saturation was reached. All participants also took part in surveys recording characteristics and Quality of Life questionnaires. Common interview themes were summarized and quality of life scores were compared between respondents.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Findings<\/jats:title>Interview respondents were a median of 64\u2009years old, and were prescribed compression therapy a median of 8\u2009years prior. The cohort spent a median of 8\u2009h a day standing. Qualitative interviews identified three main themes influencing compression stocking use: physical factors, psychological factors and external factors. Subthemes included the influence of age and sex on participant perceptions of the stockings' appearance, and how comorbidities contribute to donning difficulty.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusion<\/jats:title>Understanding factors influencing patient adherence can enable clinicians to provide a multidimensional approach, mitigating barriers and emphasizing facilitators for the individual patient to improve adherence.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/ans.19318","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,27]],"date-time":"2024-11-27T12:44:17Z","timestamp":1732711457000},"page":"778-783","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["A qualitative study of barriers and facilitators to compression stocking use in patients with chronic venous insufficiency"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"95","author":[{"given":"Lucy","family":"Simmonds","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Surgical Outcomes Research Centre Otago, Department of Surgical Sciences Dunedin School of Medicine Dunedin New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jolanta","family":"Krysa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Surgical Outcomes Research Centre Otago, Department of Surgical Sciences Dunedin School of Medicine Dunedin New Zealand"},{"name":"Department of Surgery Dunedin Public Hospital Dunedin New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abby","family":"Currie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery Dunedin Public Hospital Dunedin New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4908-7413","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kari A.","family":"Clifford","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Surgical Outcomes Research Centre Otago, Department of Surgical Sciences Dunedin School of Medicine Dunedin New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/SLA.0000000000004631"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/geront\/gnaa032"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/14651858.CD002303.pub3"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijnurstu.2008.12.012"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.12968\/bjcn.2013.18.Sup12.S35"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/iwj.14833"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.33235\/wpr.27.1.6-20"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2147\/PPA.S323766"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_10_1","first-page":"19","article-title":"Ethnic differences in those presenting for outpatient management of venous leg ulcers","volume":"13","author":"Blackmore S","year":"2022","journal-title":"NZ Med.
