Prevalence and determinants of medication adherence among hypertensive patients: An institution-based cross-sectional study
This study observed low medication adherence among patients with hypertension, where forgetfulness and a busy work schedule were reported to be the primary reasons for such non-adherence. Patients who are not married, who have been suffering for a long, and who have not been diagnosed by a health professional manifested as significant influencing factors for non-adherence.
