Abstract

Adherence to antihypertension drug consumption drugs is one of the determining factors in controlling blood pressure. Good adherence to therapy can gradually influence blood pressure and prevent complications. This study aims to investigate the relationship between the MPR (Medication Possession Rasio) method and medication adherence in hypertension patients. The current research used descriptive method whit a cross sectional approach. The data were collected prospectively with purposive sampling. The results of the study obtained 154 samples of hypertension patients with or without comorbidities aged ?17 years. The results obtained 134 patients (87.0%) in the adherent category, and 20 patients (13.0%) who were not adherent to redeeming prescription. The results indicated that 147 patients (95.5%) had moderate adherence, 4 patients (2.6%) had high adherence, and 3 patients (1.9%) were in the low adherence category. The results of the test of the relationship between the MPR method and adherence to taking medication can be concluded that the p value = 0.017, so there is a significant relationship between the MPR method and adherence to taking medication with the ARMS (Adherence of Reffil Medication Scale) questionnaire. Even though there is a relationship, the level of relationship is very low because at the level of medication compliance, the majority of hypertension patients are in the moderate compliance category due to the age of the patient who experiences difficulties when filling out the questionnaire and the high risk of manipulation by the patient by choosing good answers.
