“…Higher behavior literacy was significantly associated with good adherence to hypertensive agents, with similar results reported by several studies (De Albuquerque et al, 2018); people who attended between four and six nursing consultations had better adherence. Studies found that forgetfulness was the most common reason for nonadherence (Iloh et al, 2013; Adisa et al, 2018), which was consistent with our study results.…”

Background: Few studies have investigated the association between medication literacy and medication adherence as well as the influence of medication literacy on medication adherence in hypertensive patients. Thus, the goal of the present study was to determine the association between medication literacy and medication adherence in hypertensive patients. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted between August 2016 and December 2016. Self-administered questionnaires were completed, including a selfdeveloped and structured socio-demographic questionnaire; a self-developed, validated, and self-reported Medication Literacy Scale for Hypertensive Patients (C-MLSHP) used for medication literacy measurement; and the Chinese Version of the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale-8 (C-MMAS-8), an eight-item validated, self-report scale for adherence measurement with a total score range of 0-8. A cutoff of 6 was applied to differentiate adherence levels, including patients with an MMAS score <6 (low adherence), MMAS score = 8 (high adherence), and MMAS score ≥6 and <8 (moderate adherence). In this study, hypertensive patients' medication literacy levels and adherence to antihypertensive agents were identified. Pearson correlation analysis was carried out to identify the correlation between medication literacy and adherence. Binary logistic regression analysis was performed with medication adherence as the outcome variable in order to confirm factors associated with medication adherence.

“…This percentage was higher than that evidenced by other studies. [8][9] A Brazilian study found different means of systolic and diastolic pressure between two groups: one with the "lack of adherence" Nursing diagnosis and the other without that diagnosis. Systolic pressure was approximately 10 mmHg higher in the first group.…”

“…A study confirms this result, by verifying greater entry into emergency rooms due to acute episodes of hypertensive people not adhering to the treatment. 8 In the context of primary health care, it is essential to have a Nursing consultation for individuals with arterial hypertension, as it has brought benefits for the treatment. A Brazilian survey showed that enrollment in the Hiperdia program was not associated with greater medication adherence among hypertensive patients.…”

Objective: to evaluate adherence to antihypertensive medication, blood pressure levels, and associated factors in hypertensive individuals monitored by primary health care. Method: a cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study, carried out in Family Health Strategies in the city of Recife, Brazil. Data collection took place from April to August 2018. To assess adherence, the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale was used, an 8-item scale that addresses some behaviors when taking antihypertensive medication, such as: forgetfulness, non-intentional intake, reduced dose, interruption of treatment, and discomfort following the prescription. In the data analysis, the Chi-square and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used. Results: a total of 421 hypertensive individuals participated in the study. Low, medium and high adherence was observed, respectively, at 48.5%, 38.7% and 12.8%. High/Medium adherence was associated with single individuals (p=0.005), without work activity (p=0.043), who did not report stress (p=0.001) and hypertensive urgency/emergency (p=0.037), without side effects of antihypertensive drugs (p=0.012), and who made continuous use of other drugs (p=0.001). Blood pressure control was verified in 205 hypertensive individuals and an association was established with females (p=0.033), younger age (p=0.041), higher schooling (p=0.008), use of up to 2 antihypertensive drugs (p=0.006) and absence of side effects (p=0.026). Conclusion: the predominance of low adherence and uncontrolled pressure in some groups show the need to redirect health promotion actions in primary care, especially in the program for people with arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus.

Objective: To identify beliefs related to oral antidiabetic use among individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus, based on the Theory of Planned Behavior. Method: This is a descriptive, quantitative and qualitative study conducted with 32 participants using oral antidiabetic drugs. Data was collected through an open question tool and analyzed by number of emissions and content. Results: Among the behavioral beliefs, the following stand out: (a) as an advantage, to keep diabetes controlled; and (b) as disadvantages, gastric pain and discomfort, nausea and diarrhea. In the normative beliefs, family stood out as a social referent (children, mother and siblings). As for the control beliefs, taking the tablets with water and the size of the tablets stood out as practicalities and difficulties, respectively, in relation to the oral therapy follow-up. Conclusion and implications for practice: It was possible to identify the beliefs regarding the behavior of taking oral antidiabetics that will contribute to foster educational strategies with the potential to strengthen the positive beliefs and to revert the negative ones, in favor of adherence to drug therapy, glycemic control and quality of life.
