Antihypertensive medication adherence and associated factors among adult hypertensive patients at public hospitals in eastern Ethiopia: A Cross-sectional study

Adherence to antihypertensive medication was found to be low. This study identified place of residence, educational status, health insurance coverage, social support, knowledge of hypertension, distance from a health care facility, and number of medications as independent predictors of medication adherence. Therefore, improving accessibility of health care facilities, strengthening health insurance coverage, and providing health education about hypertension will improve antihypertensive medication adherence.
