“…On this scale, the closer to 0 is the result, the better the quality of life. (12)(13)(14) For the assessment of medication adherence, was used the medication adherence scale of Morisky, Green and Levine, version adapted to the Brazilian culture. The scale contains four questions related to factors of non-adherence.…”

“…These are the individuals' perceptions about the conditions in which they live within a context of multiple dimensions in relation to their goals and expectations. (11,12) The literature also has gaps in relation to medication adherence and quality of life for hypertensive individuals in Brazil. There are no studies evaluating this relationship in contexts of greater social vulnerability.…”

Objective: To analyze the correlation between medication adherence and quality of life for hypertensive people attended at Basic Health Units (UBS -Unidade Básica de Saúde). Methods: Cross-sectional analytical study with a random and representative sample. The correlation between quality of life and medication adherence was evaluated by using the Minichal Brazil and the Morisky scale of medication adherence. Results: The study included 720 people monitored in 13 Basic Health Units. The mean age was 62.5 years old. The Spearman's coefficient revealed an inverse (Rho = -0.130) and statistically significant (p = 0.001) correlation of low magnitude. Conclusion: The inverse correlation means that greater adherence (higher scores of Morisky scale) equals better quality of life (lower scores of Brazil Minichal scale). The weak correlation between quality of life and medication adherence reinforces the idea that quality of life for hypertensive people is related to other factors, suggesting further research. ResumoObjetivo: Analisar a correlação entre adesão medicamentosa e qualidade de vida para pessoas hipertensas assistidas em Unidades Básicas de Saúde. Métodos: Estudo transversal, analítico, com amostra aleatória e representativa. Avaliou-se a correlação entre qualidade de vida e adesão medicamentosa, utilizando-se o Minichal Brasil e a escala Morisky de adesão medicamentosa. Resultados: Participaram do estudo 720 pessoas, acompanhadas em 13 Unidades Básicas de Saúde. A média de idade foi de 62,5 anos. O coeficiente de Spearman revelou uma correlação inversa (Rho = -0,130) e estatisticamente significante (p=0,001), de fraca magnitude. Conclusão: A correlação inversa significa que maior adesão (maiores escores na escala Morisky) equivale a melhor qualidade de vida (menores escores da escala Minichal Brasil). A fraca correlação entre qualidade de vida e adesão medicamentosa reforça a ideia de que qualidade de vida para hipertensos está relacionada a outros fatores, sugerindo novas investigações.

“…The points range from 0 (best health status) to 30 (worst health status) due to the dimension "mental status". To the "somatic manifestations" dimension it ranges from 0 (best health status) to 18 (worst level health) (Carvalho et al, 2012).…”

“…The quality of life is used to evaluate the physical and psychosocial impact that disease causes to patients, thereby allowing a better knowledge of the patient and his perception of disease (Carvalho et al, 2012). Also according to Gusmão and Pierin (2009), quality of life encompasses aspects related to the physical, psychic, social and individual impact of health on their ability to get on with the patient's life.…”

“…Previous investigations have shown that clinical and sociodemographic variables affect the patient's quality of life, reporting that in hypertension patients there is a decrease of it (Carvalho et al, 2012;Cavalcante et al, 2007;Melchiors, 2008;Melchiors, Correr, Pontarolo, Santos, & Souza, 2010). However there are studies that have concluded the opposite and state that there is no decrease in the quality of life of hypertension patients (Ramos, Oliveira, & Freitas, 2009).…”

Hypertension and stress are the most prevalent risk factors in cardiovascular diseases, causing impact on quality of life of hypertensive patients. It is the aim of the study to assess the vulnerability to stress of hypertension patients and identify the factors of vulnerability to stress which interfere with quality of life of hypertension patients. Non experimental study, quantitative, transversal, descriptive and correlational. With a sample of 431 hypertension patients. Data collection took place from June to September 2012, through a questionnaire with questions concerning socio-demographic data, clinical, evaluation of the quality of life of hypertensive patients and evaluation of vulnerability to Stress. The main results are 43,15% were male, 56,84% female aged between 30 and 95 years old. There is influence of gender, age, marital status, education, employment status, cohabitation and monthly income, both in vulnerability to stress as in quality of life. Worse quality of life, female literacy, with average higher than male (M = 8,81 in mental status, M = 3,93 in somatic manifestations and M = 0,73 in overall impact). The vulnerability to stress has also an influence on the quality of life. 44,2% of hypertensive patients are vulnerable to stress, with percentage value for females (51,2%). It is essential to know the factors of vulnerability to stress predictors of quality of life of hypertension patients in order to operate and improve their quality of life.
