ABSTRACT

Hypertension is a public health problem worldwide, a cause lies in the low adherence to treatment. You want to know if there is an association between therapeutic adherence and family support in hypertensive persons. We performed a descriptive, cross-correlation applied to hypertensive individuals in the outpatient LTD. IMEVID instruments were applied (a = 0.81) and E-EFF (a = 0 .83). The a instrument was 0.82. It was noted that most are over 55 years, are married and have high blood pressure for over 30 years. More than a third of combining medications, exercise and diet to control their disease, but some use only medicines. Also, 46.7% have a low socioeconomic level and 33.3% have only primary education. 73% of the population has high adhesion therapy and 63.3% high family support. Spearman’s r for these variables was obtained from 0,643 (p = 0.000). There is no association between demographic variables and therapeutic adherence. Family support is an important factor in treatment success, noting that neither the economic, age, educational level and marital status act as constraints for this.
