Abstract
Hypertension is a disease that is often found in the community and continues to experience an increase in cases of hypertension due to unhealthy lifestyles. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of adherence to the consumption of antihypertensive drugs, describe the increase in patients' blood pressure and explain the relationship between the level of adherence in taking antihypertensive drugs to blood pressure in elderly patients. This study used a prospective quantitative descriptive method at the Sekarjaya Health Center, OKU Regency in May-June 2023. The results of the study found that out of 50 patients, 41 patients had low adherence and 9 patients had moderate adherence. In the classification of hypertension patients, 14 patients (28%) were at the pre-hypertensive level, 27 patients (54%) were at level 1 hypertension and 9 patients (18%) were at level 2 hypertension. Analysis of the relationship of adherence to blood pressure obtained a p value of 0.361. The conclusion of this study was that there was no relationship between compliance with blood pressure in hypertensive patients at the Sekarjaya Health Center, Ogan Komering Ulu Regency. However, the length of illness and forgetting to take medication was influence on compliance with p values of 0.045 and 0.002.
