Abstract :
Hypertension is widely known as the most common cardiovascular
disease which is referred to as a "silent killer" disease. One of the risk factors that
can lead to an increase in the incidence of morbidity and mortality in patients
with hypertension is the patient's non-adherence in taking antihypertensive drugs.
This study aims to determine the relationship between the level of drug adherence
in antihypertensive patients with the success of antihypertensive therapy. This
study was retrospective. Data were collected using the ASK-12 questionnaire in
hypertensive patients. This study was conducted using purposive sampling
technique according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results showed
that 18.33% of patients were compliant with the drug and 81.67% of nonadherent patients. Therapy that achieved the target with high success was 21.67%
in compliant patients, while in non-adherent patients as many as 78.33%. The
analysis test of the relationship between adherence to medication use and the
success of achieving therapeutic targets carried out by the Chi Square test showed
a relationship between the variable adherence to taking antihypertensive drugs
and the systolic blood pressure variable, the P value = 0.023 (P <0.05) and with
the blood pressure variable. diastolic values obtained P Value = 0.023 (P <0.05).
The conclusion is that there is a significant relationship between adherence to
taking antihypertensive drugs and blood pressure in patients with hypertension.
