ABSTRACT

Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, cuantitativo y transversal de 45 pacientes con hipertensión arterial, pertenecientes al consultorio médico "21 de mayo" del municipio de Media Luna, provincia de Granma, desde septiembre de 2013 hasta mayo de 2014, con vistas a determinar la adherencia terapéutica y las creencias sobre su salud en los afectados. Predominaron los pacientes con adherencia parcial al tratamiento, susceptibilidad percibida baja y severidad percibida media ante las complicaciones de la hipertensión arterial; los encuestados con beneficios en su terapia, quienes encontraron muchas barreras para cumplir con las indicaciones de su médico. Las dificultades presentadas en la adhesión al tratamiento se correspondieron con la susceptibilidad y severidad percibidas ante las complicaciones de la citada afección, así como con los beneficios y barreras del tratamiento antihipertensivo.

Patients with partial adherence to the treatment, low perceived susceptibility and mean perceived severity when facing the complications of hypertension; those interviewed with benefits in their therapy who found many barriers to fulfil their doctor's indications prevailed. The difficulties presented in the adhesion to the treatment were in correspondence to the susceptibility and severity perceived when the complications of the mentioned disorder were present, as well as with the benefits and barriers of the antihypertensive treatment.
