Abstract

A key success factor of hypertension management is adherence to taking hypertensive medications. However, little research has been done to explore determinant factors of hypertension management in adult patients. The study aimed to determine factors that affect adherence of hypertensive patients to taking antihypertensive drugs. This study was a descriptive-analytic study with a cross-sectional approach. The research sample was 133 hypertensive patients from a Primary Healthcare Center selected using a simple random technique. Inclusion criteria applied in sample selection were patients who visited Primary Healthcare Centers and were aged 18 years and above. Ethical clearance for this study was granted by ITEKES Bali Research Ethics Committee. Data collection was conducted in May 2022 using a valid and reliable questionnaire. Chi-square analyses were conducted for bivariate analyses. Variables with a p-value of < 0.25 were further analyzed with logistic regression. The results of bivariate analysis showed age, education, occupational, period of suffering, motivation, and family support had a significant influence on adherence to taking antihypertensive drugs (p < 0.05). The logistic regression test analysis showed that family support (p < 0.001; AOR: 14.050; 95% CI: 4.045-48.796) and age (p < 0.001; AOR: 0.038; 95% CI: 0.011 - 0.127) were significant determinant factors affecting adherence to taking antihypertensive drugs. Health care professionals need to continue supporting and educating families about hypertensive care.
