Abstract

Objectives: Describe the current situation and some associated factors to the adherence to blood pressure treatment of hypertensive patients at hospital E.


Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted from March 2022 to July 2022. The study involved 101 patients.[1]


Results: Out of 101 study participants. The mean adherence score to antihypertensive treatment was 49.3 (4.13) points. Most patients do not make the decision to stop taking their blood pressure medication, do not take their medication carelessly, and do not take other people's medications. Patients regularly make follow-up appointments with medical staff. We did not find any associated factors affecting the practice of controlling hypertension in the patients participating in the study. Patients who used more than 1 drug had higher blood pressure goals than patients who used only 1 drug.


Conclusion: Our study provides information on the adherence to treatment for hypertension in the group of patients at the hospital
