Abstract
Background: #Hypertension is a chronic medical condition, which
needs an adequate management. The patients’ adherence with a proper
medication of hypertension is the key factor to control hypertension and
to reduce the associated complications. However, poor adherence
to the #antihypertensivedrugs is a worldwide problem, which is
responsible for adverse health outcomes and thus, increases different
health complexities along with #health management costs. Here we aim to
identify the associated factors of medication adherence among the
hypertensive patients in Nepal.
Methods: We conducted a hospital-based cross-sectional study
in Nepal from September 2016 to November 2016. We collected data of
260 hypertensive patients who are in medication of hypertension for at
least 1 year. Data was collected by interview method and the #medication
adherence was measured by the three questions that were developed
following the Morisky-Green test (MG) and Wong.
