Objetivo: la adherencia al tratamiento de personas con úlceras venosas (UV) y su asociación con las características sociodemográficas, de salud y asistenciales. Materiales y métodos: se trata de un estudio analítico, transversal, realizado con 101 personas con UV. Se emplearon dos instrumentos: un cuestionario para caracterizar los aspectos sociodemográficos, de salud y de asistencia, y la Escala Multidimensional de Adherencia Terapéutica. Resultados: se halló peor adherencia al tratamiento en la dimensión terapia compresiva. Se identificó asociación entre el dominio estilo de vida saludable y estado civil, y entre el dominio vigilancia neurovascular y rango de edades, estado civil, profesión y etilismo. Se encontraron asociaciones entre las dimensiones de adherencia y las características de asistencia: adherencia a terapia comprensiva, orientación para uso de terapia compresiva y orientación para ejercicios regulares y quien realiza la curación fuera de las unidades. Conclusiones: hay mayor dificultad de adherencia al tratamiento en cuanto a terapia compresiva; la asistencia prestada está asociada a la adherencia a terapia compresiva, a orientación para uso de terapia compresiva y a orientación para ejercicios regulares.
