Abstract
Background: Hypertension has been an important issue in public health in Vietnam. The prevalence of uncontrolled hypertension was nearly 50% among the hypertensive population in Vietnam. The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence of medication adherence and its associated factors among patients with hypertension in the commune health centers in Thua Thien Hue Province.
Methods: The study was a cross - sectional survey in which sociodemographic characteristics, hypertension risk factors, the eight - item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS - 8), the hypertension knowledge - level scale (HK - LS), the
brief Illness Perception of hypertension, and the beliefs about hypertension medication were measured and explored in terms of their relationship with medication adherence. A structured questionnaire was used as a data collection tool. The data were then
analyzed with the help of SPSS version 20.0.
Results: A total of 279 patients participated in the survey; 24,0% (30,3% in men and 19,4% in women) were adherent to their hypertension medication. The factors significantly associated with better medication adherence were gender, educational status, family background, comorbidity, knowledge about hypertension, illness perception of hypertension, and beliefs about hypertension medication.
Conclusion: The rate of treatment adherence of hypertensive patients at some health stations in Thua Thien Hue province is still low, of which men are higher than women. Patients with a greater mean score of knowledge, and awareness of hypertension, will have better adherence to treatment
