Patient perceptions, motivations and barriers to treatment adherence in hypertension: results of a questionnaire-based survey in five European countries
This large survey reveals several underestimated issues regarding patients' perspective in hypertension. It highlights the impact of emotions, exposure to family hardships, and stress on the risk of non-adherence. Non-adherence is underreported by patients; hence it remains mostly unrecognised.
