The study was quantitative, descriptive, and cross-sectional. The population consisted of 30 users receiving outpatient treatment in the ESNPCT, and the techniques used were interviews with questionnaires and documentary analysis with checklists. The reliability test yielded 0.48%. The results showed that 50% had medium adherence, 36.7% had low adherence, and 13.3% (4) had high adherence. In the dimension of adherence to the medication schedule and dietary regimen, 46.7% had medium adherence, 40% had low adherence, and 13.3% had high adherence. In the dimension of adherence to medical evaluations, auxiliary exams, and laboratory tests, 76.7% had high adherence, 13.3% had medium adherence, and 10% had low adherence. Finally, in the dimension of adherence to educational sessions, 60% had medium adherence, 20% had high adherence, and the remaining 20% had low adherence. Conclusions: Half of the users exhibited medium adherence to treatment, with a tendency towards low adherence.
