This study aimed to study health belief model and medication adherence in patients with type 2 diabetes. This is a cross-sectional study. Data were collected by using a questionnaire in 223 samples. and analyzed data by descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression analysis. The results showed that the top 3 health belief model were self-efficacy perception, 2.89 points (SD 0.25), cues to action, 2.89 points (SD 0.27), and perceived benefits of medication, 2.73 points (SD 0.29). 88.79% of the sample adhered to their medication. The health belief model in terms of perceived self-efficacy was significantly related to medication adherence (p<0.05). The development of pharmaceutical care to increase medication adherence use should promote patients' self-efficacy awareness.
