The therapeutics of the cardiovascular diseases requires the modification of certain habits and behaviors, that's why the fulfillment of the medical prescriptions is so important. With the objective of describing the psychosical factors associated with therapeutical adherence, a descriptive, cross-sectional study was undertaken in a sample of 263 hypertensive patients distributed in 13 family physicians' offices of “Edor de los Reyes Martínez” Teaching Polyclinic in the Southern People's Council of the urban area of Jiguaní municipality, Granma province. The information was obtained by applying a questionnaire made to this end. The most relevant results were: the patient's belief that the treatment benefits his health, the adequate knowledge of the characteristics of the disease, the facing of the treatment with self-efficiency, and the perception of enough social support networks. These outcomes are the most associated with the therapeutic adherence.
