Key result
The Persian version of the 8-Item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale demonstrated acceptable internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.697) and good test-retest reliability (r = 0.940) in Iranian hypertensive patients.

The Persian version of the MMAS-8 is a reliable and valid tool for assessing medication adherence in Iranian patients with hypertension.
Moharamzad et al. (2015) conducted a cross-sectional in Hypertension (n=200). Persian version of the 8-Item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) was evaluated on Internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) and test-retest reliability (Cronbach's α 0.697, r=0.940, p=<0.001). The Persian version of the 8-Item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale demonstrated acceptable internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.697) and good test-retest reliability (r = 0.940) in Iranian hypertensive patients.
