Impact of health literacy and medication adherence on achieving blood pressure goals among hypertensive patients at the University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Referral Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia

Most participants did not achieve their target blood pressure goals. Hypertensive health literacy and medication adherence were significantly associated with blood pressure goals. To improve these outcomes, health policies should focus on creating community-based educational programs that empower patients with a better understanding of their condition and the importance of following their treatment plans. Additionally, increasing access to healthcare resources and support can provide the guidance patients need to manage their hypertension effectively. By strengthening these initiatives, we can help more individuals take control of their health and achieve better blood pressure management.
