Journal Title: International Journal of Health & Medical Research - Year 2023, Vol 2, Issue 10
Abstract
Background: The global incidence and prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus has continued to increase over the past three decades and is expected to triple by 2030.1 Based on data from the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2021, 1.28 billion adults worldwide have hypertension.4 In relation to type 2 DM therapy, patient non-compliance in undergoing treatment can cause failure to control blood sugar levels and can cause cardiovascular complications.5 Objective: To determine the relationship between adherence to medication consumption in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus and the incidence of hypertension. Methods: This study used an analytical descriptive method with cross sectional design. Sampling used consecutive sampling techniques with the sample size obtained using the Slovin formula, where the population was 447, resulting in a total sample of 218 respondents who made the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Primary data was obtained from the Medication Adherence Rating Scale10 (MARS-10) questionnaire which was filled in by the respondent and the respondent's blood pressure was checked by automatic sphygmomanometer Kenz AC-05P. Data was analyzed using SPSS-25 software with the chi- square test. Results: From 218 respondents, 80 respondents were non-adherent in taking medication and suffered from hypertension (90.9%) and 8 respondents were non-adherent in taking medication and did not suffer from hypertension (9.1%). There were 29 respondents who adhered to taking medication and suffered from hypertension (22.3%) and 101 respondents who adhered to taking medication and did not suffer from hypertension (77.7%). These results obtained a p-value of 0.000 <0.05, which means there is a relationship between adherence to drug consumption in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and the incidence of hypertension. Conclusion: There is a relationship between adherence to drug consumption in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and the occurrence of hypertension at Puskesmas Sentosa Baru and Puskesmas Sering in Medan City.
