The prevalence of hypertension has become a major concern around the world and patients’ medication adherence for hypertension is a key to prevent complications. The study aimed to identify factors associated with medication adherence among hypertension patients in Segeri Health Center in Pangkep in2015. The type of this research was observational analytic with a cross-sectional design. All 238 hypertensive patients were included, and 134 people were selected by systematic random sampling. Data were analyzed using a chi-square test. The results showed that, based on characteristics, most of the respondents were aged 60-74 years(41.8%),
69.4% were female, 53.7% left education at the end of primary school, 40.3% were working as a housewife, 96.3% were married, and 80.6% were people with a low income. The prevalence of patients with adherence and non-adherence were 41.8% and 58.2%, respectively. The results of the chi-square test showed that there were
correlations between the level of knowledge (p=0.019), family support (p=0.005) and the support of healthcare workers (p=0.025) with medication adherence. The income factor was found not to be associated with adherence (p>0.05). It was concluded that the medication adherence of patients with hypertension was influenced by the level of knowledge, family support and the support of health care workers.
