Abstract Background: Medication adherence is a crucial factor in the management of hypertension, influencing both treatment outcomes and the prevention of complications. Despite the availability of effective antihypertensive medications, non-adherence remains a significant challenge. This study aims to assess medication adherence and identify its associated risk factors among hypertensive patients attending a primary care hospital.
Methods: A prospective observational study was designed over 6 moths periods involving hypertensive patients aged 18 or more than 18 years. A total of 105 participants were selected to assess medication adherence among hypertensive patients, by using a The Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) and to assess the modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors of hypertension among the hypertensive patients. Sociodemographic data, clinical characteristics, and potential risk factors for non-adherence were collected through structured interviews and medical records.
Result: adherence poses significant obstacle not only treating hypertensions but also in managing all chronic requiring long-term medications. Failure to adhere to antihypertensive treatment inevitably leads to uncontrolled hypertension. Multivariate analysis revealed that patients who were younger, lack of knowledge, lack of physical exercise, poor diet, socioeconomic data, and reported financial difficulties were more likely to exhibit poor adherence.
Conclusion: Educate patients about the importance of medication in maintain balance levels of systolic and diastolic pressure, and proper patient counselling is needed to the patients who ae non adherent to medication. patients are non-adherent to medication due to long duration of therapy.
