Background: Hypertension is a disease of great importance and relevance, since low adherence to treatment significantly increases morbidity and mortality in our country and the world. The objective of our study is to evaluate the association between knowledge and attitudes towards hypertension with adherence to treatment in adult hypertensive patients between 30 and 80 years of age treated at the cardiology area of Hospital Nacional Dos de Mayo (HNDM), MINSA of Lima, Peru in 2022. Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was carried out in the cardiology area of Hospital Dos de Mayo (HNDM), through a telephone survey of 577 adult patients during the months from October 2021 to February 2022. The hypertension questionnaire (CSH) was used to measure the degree of knowledge variable and the self-care capacity questionnaire in patients with arterial hypertension to measure the attitude variable. The adherence variable was evaluated through the Martín-Bayarre-Grau (MBG) questionnaire. Results: The results regarding the raw analysis of the Poisson regression showed an association between the independent variables knowledge and adherence (PR:0.19, CI 95%: 0.08-0.48) and the variables attitudes and adherence (PR: 0.88, CI 95 %, 0.86-0.90). Likewise, the adjusted analysis shows an association between the variable knowledge and adherence (PR: 0.22, CI 95%: 0.09-0.56) and attitudes with adherence (PR: 0.88, CI 95%: 0.86-0.90), since it determines that having Adequate knowledge and higher scores on attitudes are closely related to a lower probability of non-adherence, so they are protective factors. Conclusions: There is a relationship between the degree of knowledge, attitudes and adherence to treatment of hypertension. Patients with inadequate knowledge and low attitude scores are more likely to not adhere to treatment.
