Antihypertensive Medication Adherence and Associated Factors among Hypertensive Patients
The study found that medication adherence among hypertensive patients was suboptimal, with a significant proportion having uncontrolled blood pressure. Higher hypertension knowledge was associated with better adherence, highlighting the importance of patient education. Strengthening educational interventions and counseling strategies may improve adherence and, consequently, hypertension control.
