Variables were correlated using Pearson’s Chi-Square Test (X2). The study was approved by the research ethics committee. Results: no association was found between treatment adherence and the comprehensiveness of nursing care (p = 0.758). Conclusion:there was found to be a need to provide nursing care centered on comprehensiveness, with a view always to improving treatment adherence among hypertensive patients.
