Objective: To analyze the prevalence and factors associated with the cooperation of arterial hypertension patients in primary health care. Methods: Cross-sectional study that included 458 hypertensive patients, randomly selected among primary care users. The study variables were socioeconomic, demographic and clinical and the research instruments used were validated. The logistic regression model was used for multivariate statistical analysis. Results: The prevalence rates found for patient cooperation corresponded to 26.6%, 16.6% and 85.6% on the Morisky-Green, Batalla and Haynes-Sackett tests, respectively. The adjusted logistic regression analysis showed economic class and smoking as the independent predictors of hypertensive patients' cooperation. Conclusion: The prevalence of treatment adherence varied according to the assessment instrument used. The factors associated with treatment adherence were: high socioeconomic class, living with a partner and being eutrophic. ResumoObjetivo: Analisar a prevalência e os fatores associados a cooperação do paciente portador de hipertensão arterial na atenção primária. Métodos: Estudo transversal que incluiu com 458 hipertensos selecionados aleatoriamente entre os usuários na assistência primária. As variáveis de estudo foram socioeconômicas, demográficas e clínicas e os instrumentos de pesquisa utilizados eram validados. Foi utilizado o modelo de regressão logística para análise estatística multivariada. Resultados: As prevalências encontradas para cooperação do paciente foram 26,6%, 16,6% e 85,6% para os testes de Morisky-Green, Batalla e Haynes-Sackett, respectivamente. Análise de regressão logística ajustada mostrou classe econômica e fumo como os preditores independentes para a cooperação do paciente portador de hipertensão arterial. Conclusão: A prevalência de adesão ao tratamento variou de acordo com o instrumento de avaliação utilizado. Os fatores associados à adesão ao tratamento foram: classe socioeconômica elevada, morar com companheiro e ser eutrófico. Keywords
