SANTOS, Lucila Moraes Chaves; ALMEIDA, Laís Gabriela Rocha  y  FARO, André. Optimism, self-efficacy and locus of control on hypertension treatment adherence. Rev. Psicol. Saúde [online]. 2019, vol.11, n.3, pp.49-62. ISSN 2177-093X.  https://doi.org/10.20435/pssa.v11i3.691.

This study analyzed the association between optimism, self-efficacy and locus of control on treatment adherence of hypertensive adults, as well as the main predictors of adherence from sociodemographic variables and the psychological constructs. The sample consisted of 100 hypertensive patients. Five instruments were applied: sociodemographic and clinical questionnaire, Morisky Medication Adherence Scale, Life Orientation Test, General Self-Efficacy Scale, and Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale. The logistic regression technique showed that physical activity, not consuming alcohol, and having greater scores in luck locus of control and in the self-efficacy were predictors of medium and high adherence. Finally, results demonstrated the need for further investigations on the relationship between psychological variables and adherence to hypertensive treatment, especially about the influence of the locus of control related to the luck on the health behavior.

Palabras clave : treatment adherence; optimism; self-efficacy; locus of control; hypertension.
