Abstract: Objective  To analyze the current status and influencing factors of medication adherence in discharged patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease. 
Methods  A total of 360 discharged patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease were selected. The patients′ general information, disease and medication status, and medication knowledge level were collected, and Morisky questionnaire on medication compliance, general self-efficacyscale(GSES), perceived social support scale(PSSS) and other data were used to analyze medication compliance status and its influencing factors. 
Results  The medication compliance rate of discharged patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease was 23.2%. There were significant differences in patients with good medication compliance and those with poor medication compliance with respect to education level, chronic disease, attention to disease, frequency of medicine use, adverse drug reactions after medication in the past two weeks, total score of medicine use knowledge and perceived social support score were the influencing factors of medication adherence(P＜0.05).Multivariate regression analysis showed that the degree of attention to the disease, perceived social support were influencing factors for medication compliance in discharged patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease(P＜0.05). 
Conclusion  The status of medication compliance in discharged patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease is not optimistic. The degree of attention to the disease and perceived social support are the important factors affecting the medication compliance of patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease.
