Abstract

ABSTRACT

Hypertension or high blood pressure is an increase in systolic blood pressure of more than 140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure of more than 90 mmHg. Hypertension is a chronic disease with life-long treatment. Adherence to treatment of hypertensive patients is important because hypertension is a disease that must always be controlled so that complications do not occur which can lead to death. This study aimed to identify the level of adherence of hypertensive patients at Puskesmas Kema, North Minahasa regency in taking antihypertensive drugs using the Modified Morisky Adherence Scales-8 (MMAS-8) method and the data was collected on 40 patients. The results showed that patients with a high level of adherence were 22.5%, a moderate level of adherence was 20%, and a low level of adherence was 57.5%. Therefore, could be concluded that the level of adherence with the use of antihypertensive drugs in hypertensive patients at Kema Health Center was in the low category.

 

Key words: Hypertension, Adherence level in taking medication.
