The present descriptive correlational, cross-sectional, non-experimental study sought to determine the relationship between knowledge and adherence to pharmacological treatment in hypertensive patients at the Belén Hospital in Trujillo in 2024. The sample was 84 patients. Two surveys were used: Knowledge about high blood pressure and adherence to pharmacological treatment. The results showed that 64% of the patients had a high level of knowledge about hypertension, while 89% had a medium adherence to treatment. Among the demographic characteristics, 44% of the participants were between 56 and 65 years old, 52% were women, 46% had been diagnosed between 5 and 10 years ago, and 52% had primary education. For the correlation of variables, Spearman's Rho test was used, revealing a weak relationship between knowledge and adherence to treatment (r = -0.007). Based on these findings, it is stated that there is not enough statistical evidence to accept the relationship between variables, which is why the null hypothesis is chosen. Concluding that adherence to pharmacological treatment of hypertension not only depends on the level of knowledge, but there would also be other factors that intervene
