Effective doctor-patient communication is key to addressing the signifi cant issue of nonadherence to hypertension treatment in Nepal. Common clinical messages about hypertension are evaluated utilizing the framework of the Common-Sense Model of Self-Regulation for their role in shaping the patient models that underlie nonadherent behavior. Clinical communications and practices are recommended: to respectfully elicit and address patient reliance on self-identifi ed symptoms; to accompany warnings of hypertension’s serious consequences with specifi c individual action-plans for durable effects; to emphasize the necessity of long-term continuous treatment without creating fears of dependence and withdrawal effects or burdensome monitoring and counseling; to inform of side-effects while presenting medication as nontoxic and necessary for the body’s maintenance of a healthy balance. By acknowledging the patient as an active agent engaged in self-regulation and by employing culturally consonant concepts (often Ayurvedic), we can encourage accurate patientillness and treatment representations that guide medication adherence.
