Abstract

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and hypertension are leading contributors to global morbidity. One prevalent comorbidity among people with diabetes is hypertension. Patients with T2DM who have hypertension are at a 7.2 times higher risk of mortality and mortality to experience macrovascular and microvascular complications. Compliance with taking medication is one of the supporting factors for the success of pharmacological therapy which is the management and prevention of complications of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and hypertension which should be accompanied by adequate knowledge.

Objectives: This study aims to systematically review the relationship between patient knowledge and medication adherence in individuals with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and hypertension based on findings from peer-reviewed literature.

Method: The design of this research is a literature review with data sourced from PubMed, Wiley, Science Direct, Scopus, Sinta, and Google Scholar.

Results: Based on the literature review, there were 13 relevant articles from 1392 articles. The study found that knowledge is related to the compliance of patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and hypertension.

Conclusion: High knowledge tends to be in line with high patient medication compliance and vice versa.

Keywords:
