months.
There was 75 patients, the intervention group (N=39) experienced a
significant decrease in blood pressure at the end of the study, on systolic
amounted 11.28±8.33 mmHg [P=0.000(P<0.05)] and diastolic amounted
7.18±6.86 mmHg [P=0.000(P<0.05)], whereas in the control group (N=36) did
not experience a significant decrease in blood pressure is systolic amounted
2.22±10.45 mmHg [P=0.203(P>0.05)] and diastolic amounted 0.28±6.09 mmHg
[P=0.782(P>0.05)]. Adherence of patients as measured by MMAS scale in the
intervention group better adherence than the control group (33.33% : 2.78%).
There was have correlation a means between MMAS score with change of
systolic (P=0.019
