Problem: Reduce this. The issue of medication non-adherence is substantial. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), adherence rates for chronic conditions in developed countries average only 50% (WHO, 2003). In the United States, it is estimated that non-adherence contributes to approximately 125,000 deaths and costs the healthcare system between $100 billion and $289 billion annually (Osterberg & Blaschke, 2005). Improving medication adherence is crucial for enhancing patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs. Nurse-led education has the potential to bridge the gap between prescribed treatment and patient compliance, thereby improving health outcomes for hypertensive patients. This makes the topic highly relevant to contemporary nursing practice and patient care.
