Abstract

This research project aims to investigate the various factors responsible for medication non-adherence among diagnosed hypertensive patients. The study will explore demographic, psychological, behavioral, and socio-cultural factors that may impact a patient's adherence to prescribed antihypertensive medications. By identifying and understanding these factors, the research seeks to develop tailored interventions and strategies to improve medication adherence rates among hypertensive individuals, ultimately leading to better disease management outcomes and reduced cardiovascular risk.
