OBJECTIVE: To probe into the influencing factors of medication compliance in patients with hypertension

so as to improve the medication compliance of patients and blood pressure compliance rate

and provide reference for improving the medication compliance of patients with other chronic diseases. METHODS: Totally 995 patients with hypertension admitted into inpatient and outpatient department of Zhengzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital and Xinmi Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from Jul.to Nov.2018 were extracted as the research objects.The Chinese version of 8-item Morisky medication compliance scale was used

and Andersen behavior model was used as the theory to calculate the medication compliance of patients with hypertension in the above two hospitals. The relationship between various factors and medication compliance in patients with hypertension with different compliance was analyzed.RESULTS: A total of 995 valid questionnaires were collected from 995 patients with hypertension.Among them

162 patients（16. 3%） had high medication compliance

219 patients（22. 0%） had medium medication compliance

and 614 patients（61. 7%） had low medication compliance. The analysis of the characteristics of patients with hypertension with different compliance indicated that

except for gender

marital status and family population

the differences in other characteristics were statistically significant（P< 0. 05）. CONCLUSIONS: Patients’ medication compliance is not only affected by some personal characteristics

environmental factors

medical behavior and medical results also have impacts on patients’ medication compliance. Multiple intervention should be adopted to improve the medication compliance.
