        abstract = {Background: The high prevalence of hypertension, low rates of medication adherence, and the substantial gap in achieving blood pressure control, there was a critical need to explore the determinants of medication adherence among patients with hypertension in India.
Objectives: The objectives were to determine the level of medication adherence among patients with hypertension, to identify the determinants of medication adherence among patients with hypertension and to determine the association between medication adherence and selected socio demographic and clinical proforma.
Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted among 150 patients with hypertension attending the outpatient department of a tertiary care hospital in Ernakulam district, Kerala. A quantitative research approach was adopted, and participants were selected using a convenience sampling technique. A socio demographic and clinical proforma, Hill Bone HBP Compliance to high blood pressure therapy scale (HB-HBP) and a Self-structured questionnaire to assess the determinants of medication adherence in hypertensive patients were used to collect data. Statistical significance was considered at p < 0.05.
Results: In the study it shows that 75% patients have good adherence, 25% have average adherence and none of the patients have poor adherence. The various determinants such as patient knowledge, motivation, beliefs, financial affordability, access to care, social support, and treatment related factors like side effects and medication dose changes were identified. The association is analyzed between level of medication adherence with selected socio demographic and clinical proforma which revealed significant association between level of adherence and selected socio-clinical factors like educational qualification(p=0.036), duration of hypertension treatment(p=0.002), other related diseases like Diabetes mellitus(p=0.045), coronary artery disease (p=0.018), CKD (p=0.036) and regular exercise.
Conclusion: To conclude, improving adherence to medication regimen aid in effective hypertension management and prevention of complications related to hypertension.},
