AB  - BACKGROUND: Hypertension is a common chronic disease that causes serious 
      complications. Therefore, its management is critical. Many factors affect the 
      management of hypertension, such as care satisfaction and antihypertensive 
      medication adherence. AIM: This study investigated the relationship between 
      hypertensive patients' satisfaction with hypertension care and their 
      antihypertensive medication adherence. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This 
      descriptive-correlational study was conducted between October 2016 and February 
      2017. A total of 407 patients meeting the inclusion criteria were enrolled in the 
      study. The data were collected using the descriptive questionnaire, the Patient 
      Assessment of Chronic Illness Care (PACIC) to determine care satisfaction, and 
      the Medication Adherence Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (MASES-SF). Blood 
      pressure, body height, and weight were also measured. RESULTS: Patients had a low 
      mean PACIC score and a good mean score on the MASES-SF. Their PACIC scores 
      differed by age, gender, number of daily antihypertensive medications, time since 
      last examination due to hypertension, getting information about hypertension, and 
      blood pressure control status (p < 0.05). Their MASES-SF scores differed by 
      perceived economic status, time since hypertension diagnosis, duration of 
      antihypertensive medication use, time since last examination due to hypertension, 
      and blood pressure control status. In addition, there was a weak positive and 
      significant correlation between PACIC and MASES-SF scores (p < 0.001). 
      CONCLUSIONS: Patients have low satisfaction with hypertension care and good 
      antihypertensive medication adherence. As satisfaction with hypertension care 
      increases, adherence to antihypertensive medication increases.
