This study is an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional study design. The researcher used a cross-sectional design because in this study, observation or measurement of variables was carried out at a predetermined time with a population of 757 respondents. The sampling used in this study was purposive sampling with a sample size of 30 respondents. From the results of this study, it can be concluded that the last level of education factor with a sig value of 0.000), f age factor with a sig value of 0.016, duration of hypertension with a sig value = 0.000, has a relationship with compliance in undergoing hypertension treatment. Compliance is a form of behavior that arises as a result of interaction between health workers and patients so that patients understand the plan with all its consequences and agree to the plan and carry it out.
