Background: The prevalence rate of onco-hematological diseases has been increasing in recent years. Adherence influences survival in this population. The presence of depressive symptoms has been described as a barrier to adherence. Objective: To describe the association between the presence of depressive symptoms and adherence to medical treatment in onco-hematological patients in a level III-1 Hospital in Lima, Peru in 2023. Materials and Methods: The study is a series of cases, of analytical and exploratory type, cross-sectional. A survey was carried out on 202 patients attended by the Oncology-Hematology service of a level III-1 Hospital. Demographic variables were age, sex, place of origin, cohabitation status, partner status, and level of education; the clinical variables were polypharmacy, comorbidities, treatment route, type of cancer, adherence to medical treatment (Morisky-Green Test) and presence of depressive symptoms (HADS-D). A descriptive and inferential analysis was performed. Results: Adherence to medical treatment was 58.91%, described as predominantly male adherents 50.42%, unemployed 63.03%, with a partner 64.61%, with completed high school 48.74%, who live accompanied 89.08%, residents in Metropolitan Lima 87.39%, with absence of polypharmacy 70.59%, with absence of comorbidities 52.10%, with mixed treatment route 43.7%, with non-Hogdkin neoplasia 52.1%. The presence of depressive symptoms, suspicious and probable, was 44.06%. No statistically significant association was found. Conclusion: There is no significant association between adherence to treatment and the presence of depressive symptoms in Hematopoietic-Neoplasms-patients at a level III-1 Hospital.
