Compliance on Therapeutic Regimen Among Hypertensive Middle-Aged Adults: Addressing Barriers to Medication Effectiveness
Journal Title: International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Analysis - Year 2025, Vol 8, Issue 02
Abstract
Hypertension (HTN), is one of the leading causes of preventable death worldwide, and remains a public health challenge due to low compliance with therapeutic regimens. This study evaluated the therapeutic regimen compliance amongst hypertensive middle-aged adults in Santiago City, Isabela, Philippines. Using a cross-sectional research design, data were collected from two hundred eighty-five hypertensive individuals aged 45-60 years. A survey instrument, the Hill-Bone Compliance to High Blood Pressure Therapy Scale was used to gather the data of the respondents. The findings of the study discovered that about 92.6% of the respondents unveiled very high compliance with their prescribed treatments for hypertension, while only 7.4% showed high compliance, with none demonstrating low or very low compliance. The statistical investigation has shown that there is no significant association between therapeutic regimen compliance and its demographic features such as age, sex, civil status, or educational accomplishment. Also, the study concluded that compliance in their therapeutic regimen in this population is exceptionally high, and unaffected by demographic factors, and recommends reinforcing current healthcare practices to uphold these outcomes.
