Pharmacotherapeutic adherence is a discipline that patients must follow as guided by the prescriber to promote recovery or improvement and prevent complications in the body's functionality. Objective: To evaluate adherence to antidiabetic treatment in hospitalized patients at the COVID-19 Temporary Care and Isolation Center, Villa Panamericana, Lima, 2022. Method: The study was conducted using a deductive method with a quantitative, non-experimental, and cross-sectional approach. The study involved 217 hospitalized patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. To measure pharmacotherapeutic adherence, the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) was used, validated by expert judgment, considering the following dimensions: sociodemographic data, clinical data, and therapeutic regimen. Microsoft Excel and SPSS v25 statistical software were used to analyze the results. Results: Among the 217 patients surveyed, 82% did not adhere to their pharmacological treatment. Of these, 82.1% were women, and 85.6% were over 60 years old. Additionally, 92.5% had only primary education, and 86.8% were from rural areas—all these groups were non-adherent to treatment. Regarding clinical data, 92.5% of patients were obese, 86.1% had fasting hyperglycemia, and 85.5% were receiving oral hypoglycemics and insulin. Among the treatment types, 86.7% were on dual therapy. Conclusion: In the studied population, 82% did not follow medical prescriptions, increasing the risk of complications and comorbidities associated with their condition.
