ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the medication adherence of patients with hypertension in medication consultation clinics, and to analyze its influencing factors. METHODS The data of 389 patients who visited the medication consultation clinics of our hospital from June 2021 to June 2023 were collected. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the related factors affecting medication adherence of hypertensive patients or those receiving different types of drugs. RESULTS Among 389 patients with hypertension, 302 cases (77.63%) had good adherence. Multivariate Logistic analysis showed that higher education level [corrected OR=2.25, 95%CI (1.29, 3.93), P=0.004] was positively correlated with medication adherence, average blood pressure level [corrected OR=0.19, 95%CI (0.10, 0.37), P<0.001], without complication [corrected OR=0.47, 95%CI(0.26,0.84),P=0.010] and antihypertensive drug regimen being free dose combination [corrected OR=0.27,95%CI(0.15, 0.47), P<0.001] were negatively correlated with adherence. Results of univariate Logistic regression analysis showed that patients who used β-receptor blocking agents [OR=1.65,95%CI(1.06,2.57),P=0.027], calcium channel blockers [OR=2.13,95%CI(1.33, 3.42),P=0.002] and agents acting on the renin-angiotensin system [OR=2.04,95%CI(1.29,3.22),P=0.002] had good medication adherence. CONCLUSIONS The medication adherence of hypertension patients needs to be improved. Hypertension patients with higher education level, lower average blood pressure level, complications and fixed-dose combination regimen and those who use agents acting on the renin-angiotensin system, calcium channel blockers and β-receptor blocking agents may have better medication adherence.
