Purpose: This study aimed to investigate factors affecting medication adherence in patients with hypertension.
Methods: A secondary analysis of the Korea Health Panel Data 2017 was conducted to identify the factors affecting medication adherence among hypertensive patients. The sample constituted 3,627 patients diagnosed with hypertension. The data were analyzed by conducting complex sample multivariate ?2-test, t-test and logistic regression using SPSS.
Results: Out of 3,627 patients, 89.1% were adherent, while 10.9% were non-adherent. Factors that significantly affected medication adherence in patients with hypertension were burden of medication costs (OR, 1.44; 95% CI, 1.21∼1.73; p＜.001), satisfaction with antihypertensive medicine (OR, 2.56; 95% CI, 1.68∼3.90; p＜.001), and sufficient communication with doctors (OR, 1.40; 95% CI, 1.11∼1.76; p=.004).
Conclusion: To improve medication adherence among patients with hypertension, health care providers should aim to reduce the burden of medication costs, improve satisfaction with medication, and provide sufficient communication to patients.
