Health beliefs, medication adherence, and blood-pressure control in rural Bangladeshi hypertension: an exploratory sequential mixed-methods study

Md. Shofiqul Islam, Md Atiqul Haque, Muhammad Kamal Uddin, Mohan Chakraborty et al.

Short summary

In rural Bangladesh, perceived barriers (β=0.375) and self-efficacy (β=0.304) were the strongest predictors of medication adherence, which in turn influenced blood pressure control. Self-efficacy also directly lowered systolic blood pressure by 6.41 mmHg, independent of adherence.
