| Summary: |
This research aimed to determine the level of adherence on medication as well as the
determinant factors of no adherence in hypertensive patients attended in public health
centers. Two hundred four patients attended in public centers in Trujillo and Chimbote
cities were interviewed between November 2010 and January 2011 under a
pharmacotherapy follow up program. The level of adherence was diagnosed by three test:
Heiness - Sackett, Moriski Green Lavine and Counting tablets test. All of them were
normalized test. The determinants of non-adherence were identified by a 20 questions test
based on those factors proposed by the World Health Organization as mayor components of
unaccomplished. Results shows high level of coincidence among these three tests used to
measure non adherence was detected in Trujillo as well as in Chimbote (60.83 and 79.76%
respectively). Social environment (27.47% and 22.72%) and health personnel performance
(20.7% and 20.53%) were the dimension that most influenced negatively. Individual
factors that most negatively influenced were self-medication (13.53% and 8.61%) and the
appointment non attendance (12.88 and 7.59%). It is concluded that hypertensive patients of
Trujillo and Chimbote cities are nonadherents to medical treatment and most negative
contributors are patient social environment and the patient perception of health personnel. |
