Abstrak. Kepatuhan pengobatan hipertensi dapat dipengaruhi oleh faktor sosial-demogafik. Perbedaan fasilitas penunjuang kesehatan pada daerah dataran rendah dan dataran tinggi mengakibatkan tidak meratanya informasi dan pengobatan terkait hipertensi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi hubungan letak geografis dengan tingkat kepatuhan pengobatan hipertensi di Kabupaten Pekalongan. Penelitian ini merupakan studi deskirptif dengan pendekatan cross-sectional. Kuesioner The 8-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) versi Bahasa Indonesia digunakan untuk mengukur kepatuhan pengobatan hipertensi pada 65 responden di daerah dataran tinggi dan dataran rendah. Hasil penelitian ini menemukan bahwa letak geografis mempunyai korelasi terhadap kepatuhan pengobatan hipertensi (p-value < 0,01). Petugas kesehatan hendaknya menggunakan berbagai metode untuk meningkatkan kepatuhan pengobatan khususnya yang berlokasi di dataran rendah. Namun demikian, peningkatkan kualitas dan kuantitas fasilitas kesehatan di dataran tinggi tidak boleh diabaikan Kata kunci: kepatuhan pengobatan, hipertensi, MMAS-8, letak geografis Relationship between Geographical Location and Medication Adherence in Hypertensive Patients in Pekalongan DistrictAbstract. Medication adherence among hypertensive patients can be influenced by socio-demographic factors. The differences in health care facilities in the lowlands and highlands create a gap of information and treatment related to hypertension treatments. The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between geographical location and medication adherence in Pekalongan Regency. A descriptive study with a cross-sectional approach was used. The Indonesian version of the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) questionnaire was used to measure the adherence of medication treatment among 65 respondents in the highlands and lowlands. The results of this study revealed that geographical location was highly correlated with medication adherence (p-value <0.01). Health workers should use various methods to improve medication adherence, especially those located in the lowlands. Although, improving the quality and quantity of health facilities in the highlands should not be ignored Keywords: medication adherence, hypertension, MMAS-8, geographical location

Introduction : Hypertension is a disease that is commonly found and one of the causes of death allover the world. Riset Kesehatan Dasar in 2013 shows that the prevalence of hypertension in Indonesiais 26.5%. The lack of medication adherence of hypertensive patients is a major cause of hypertensiontherapy failure. Non-adherence to antihypertensive drugs is a potential factor that can cause variouscomplications such as heart failure, stroke, kidney failure and blindness. The purpose of this study wasto determine the level of medication adherence for hypertensive patients in M. Djamil HospitalPadang.Method: This is a descriptive research with cross sectional design. The study population was patientswith hypertension with sampling based on counsecutive sampling. Inclusion criteria were essentialhypertension patients and willing to join the study. Exclusion criteria were hypertension emergency,hypertension urgency, and hypertension with complications. Data obtained directly from respondentsthrough the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale-8 questionnaire and direct blood pressuremeasurement.Results: Based on the characteristics of hypertensive patients, found that male 62% and female 38%,ages 20-39 (19%) and ≤ 40 (81%), duration of hypertension < 5 years (62%) and ≥ 5 years (38 %),anti-hypertensive drugs > 1 (60%) and 1 (40%), uncontrolled blood pressure (65%) and controlled(35%). Low compliance rates (60%), moderate (31%) and high (9%).Conclusion: The level of medication adherence for hypertensive patients in M.

Abstract Background Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has the most effective treatment for people with HIV, but its effectiveness depends on the individual medication adherence. Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) is one of the most widely used scales to assess patient adherence. Thus, we aimed to validate a Portuguese version of MMAS-8 and determine its psychometric properties in HIV positive patients. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Centro Hospitalar Universitário São João (Porto, northern Portugal) at the infectious diseases department. After authorization to use the scale - granted by the author - and, a standard forward-backwards procedure to translate MMAS-8 to Portuguese, the questionnaire was applied to 233 patients with HIV doing ART. Reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha and test-retest reliability. Three levels of adherence were considered: 0 to &lt; 6 (low), 6 to &lt; 8 (medium), 8 (high). Results In the studied sample, the mean age was 45.03 years (SD = 11.63), 80.3% men, 19.3% women and 1 transgender, and 53.8% had ≤9 years of education. The mean number of prescribed ART per patient was 1.76. The mean score for the medication adherence scale was 7.29 (SD = 6.74). For the reliability analysis, 12 patients were excluded due to missing data (n = 221). Regarding the level of adherence, 22.5% were low adhering, 71.6% medium and 5.9% high. Corrected item-total correlations showed that 1 item does not correlate very well with the overall scale and was dropped. Scale reliability analysis for the remaining 7 items revealed an overall Cronbach's alpha of 0.661. Women had a protective effect on adherence (OR = 0.31;95%CI:0.15-0.66). Number of years doing ART, age of participants, and type of residence didn't show to be correlated with adherence. Conclusions MMAS-8 is a reliable and valid measure to detect patients at risk of non-adherence. A satisfactory Cronbach's alfa (0.661) was obtained. In general, adherence to medication was medium or high. Key messages This scale can be applied nationwide in other different hospitals, as it could serve as a tool for measuring adherence to ART that can allow for better health care to the ones that are low adhering. A Portuguese version of the MMAS-8 was created for measuring adherence to ART that maintained a similar structure to the original MMAS-8 and good psychometric properties.
