Treatment Adherence and Health-Related Quality of Life Among Patients with Hypertension at Tertiary Healthcare Facility in Lalitpur, Nepal: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Measurement of medication adherence and health-related quality of life is extremely important when planning different health policies. Drug therapy and adherence to medication are critical to prevent complications of hypertension, especially in countries like Nepal, where hypertension is one of the most prevalent diseases. However, this has not been studied in Nepal. This study, hence, aimed to explore medication adherence, factors affecting medication adherence, health-related quality of life, and the correlation between medication adherence and health-related quality of life in hypertensive patients visiting tertiary care health facilities in Lalitpur district of Nepal. ⋯ The treatment adherence of patients to antihypertensive therapy was suboptimal, which could affect the outcome of therapy. Better treatment adherence was correlated with a better health-related quality of life. Hence, both health-care providers and patients should make efforts to increase treatment adherence to attain better HRQOL.
