    The objective of this research was to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge about hypertension and therapeutic adherence in hypertensive patients attending a pharmacy in Bellavista, Sullana. Method: The study employed a non-experimental, descriptive-correlational design with a quantitative approach, a hypothetical-deductive method, and a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 152 hypertensive patients. Data collection was conducted using a survey as the technique and a questionnaire as the instrument. The data obtained were processed using SPSS version 23. Results: Among the 152 hypertensive patients, 30.9% were aged between 46 and 50 years, and 54.6% had been diagnosed with hypertension for 3–5 years. Regarding the level of knowledge about hypertension, 45.4% had a high level, 44.7% a medium level, and 9.9% a low level. In terms of therapeutic adherence, 52.6% demonstrated full adherence, 32.9% partial adherence, and 14.5% were not adhering to their antihypertensive treatment. Conclusion: It was determined that there is a significant relationship (p<0.05) and a very high positive correlation (Spearman’s rho=0.917) between the level of knowledge about hypertension and therapeutic adherence in hypertensive patients attending a pharmacy in Bellavista, Sullana, in 2022.
