    This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between the level of knowledge about medication and treatment adherence in hypertensive patients at the Jesús Nazareno Support Hospital. The methodology used was hypothetical-deductive, cross-sectional, non-experimental, with a quantitative approach. The sample consisted of 152 hypertensive patients from the Jesús Nazareno Support Hospital, selected through simple random probabilistic sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire and a test. The results showed that 80.9% of patients had insufficient knowledge about their medication, while only 3.9% demonstrated sufficient knowledge. Furthermore, 80.9% were non-adherent, and only 19.1% were adherent to their treatment. By associating the two variables, it was found that most patients with insufficient knowledge were also non-adherent (65.8%), whereas all patients with sufficient knowledge were adherent to their treatment. The chi-square statistical test was used to demonstrate the correlation, yielding a value of (p = 0.000). The conclusion is that there is indeed a relationship between the level of knowledge about medication and treatment adherence in hypertensive patients.
