This study aimed to evaluate the level of medication adherence in hypertensive patients at the Kenjeran Health Center. The research method used was observational analysis with a cross-sectional design and evaluation through a questionnaire to measure the level of adherence and the MMAS-8 questionnaire to measure medication adherence. The results obtained for the level of medication adherence based on the MMAS-8 method showed that 52 patients (64%) were in the low MMAS-8 adherence category, 21 patients (26%) were in the moderate MMAS-8 adherence category, and 8 patients (10%) included in the high MMAS-8 compliance category.
