Focused Group Discussion was conducted to further investigate what factors affect adherence of hypertensive patients to antihypertensive drug therapy. A bidirectional hypertension referral system among the Main Health Center, Barangay Health Station of Guintarcan, and Community Healh Workers was established for follow-up care of hypertensive patients undergoing treatment. Adherence rates using Proportion of Days Covered (PDC) were observed for a period of six (6) months. Results showed that there is high proportion of hypertensive patients inBarangay Guintarcan which was 82.8%. Factors that affect adherence were Access to Follow-up Care and Antihypertensive Drugs, absence of symptoms , decrease of blood pressure to normal level, cost, and Philhealth membership. Continuity of care through bidirectional hypertension referral system maintained the adherence rates of hypertensive patients to antihypertensive drug therapy above 80.0% (overall average PDC of 85.2%). Percentage of hypertensive patients with Cardiovascular risk of 30% to <40% was decreased from 11.1% to 5.6% and percentage of hypertensive patients with cardiovascular risk of less that 10% increased from 55.6% to 94.4% in a period of 6 months. |
