Adherence to treatment is indispensable in
the hemodynamic status of patients with AHT, nowadays
this is considered as the chronic non-communicable
disease that has surpassed limits at international level,
alerting its multiple cardiovascular, cerebrovascular
complications and psychological risks leading to the
main causes of death and psychopathological disorders.
Objectives: To determine the psychopathological risks
associated with adherence to treatment in patients with
arterial hypertension attending the Abdón Calderon
Union Health Center.
Methodology: Method: experimental. Type of research:
descriptive-correlative, prospective, cross-sectional and
qualitative approach. Sample: 206 patients with a
diagnosis of arterial hypertension with more than 6
months of treatment and older than 30 years old men
and women will be taken. Instruments: 3 instruments
will be used, LSB-50, sociodemographic card, and
Treatment Adherence Scale. Statistical analysis: a
descriptive analysis of social disadvantages and risk of
adherence will be carried out using frequencies,
percentages and measures of central tendency. Expected
results: We expect to identify and evaluate the
psychopathological risks that most affect the patient's
adherence to antihypertensive treatment and to improve
their lifestyle.
