Key result
Healthcare provider support linked to ~8.2-fold higher odds of antihypertensive medication adherence.
Why the study?
Poor adherence to antihypertensive medication is a risk factor for hypertensive crisis and increased mortality, motivating investigation of factors influencing adherence.
Do various motivation factors (individual, family, social, healthcare provider, communication) improve medication adherence in hypertensive patients?

Healthcare provider and family support are critical drivers that independently and significantly increase antihypertensive medication adherence among hypertensive patients.
Provider support was associated with adherence in this cross-sectional study; leaves open whether interventions targeting it improve outcomes in hypertension.
Hypertension is a chronic disease characterised by increased systemic arterial blood pressure, either systolic or diastolic. Poor adherence to antihypertensive medication is one of the risk factors for hypertensive crisis, which may cause acute target organ damage and increase mortality. This study aimed to determine the relationship between motivation and medication adherence among hypertensive patients at the Internal Medicine Clinic of Kayu Agung Regional General Hospital, Ogan Komering Ilir. This analytical survey used a cross-sectional design. The population and sample consisted of 69 hypertensive patients treated at the Internal Medicine Clinic of Kayu Agung Regional General Hospital. The results showed that individual motivation, family support motivation, social support motivation, healthcare provider support motivation, and communication tool support motivation were simultaneously associated with medication adherence among hypertensive patients. This study recommends strengthening health education and family motivation to improve adherence to antihypertensive medication.

Rahmadi et al. (2026) conducted a cross-sectional in Hypertension (n=69). Healthcare provider support vs. Lack of healthcare provider support was evaluated on Medication adherence (OR 8.236, 95% CI 2.263-29.977, p=0.001). Healthcare provider support significantly improved adherence to antihypertensive medication among hypertensive patients (OR 8.236), representing the most dominant factor in multivariate analysis.
