    The low figures of therapeutic adherence have become a worldwide health problem, so the present research had the objective of applying an educational nursing intervention on the therapeutic adherence to older adults with diagnoses of hypertension and diabetes during the COVID-19 pandemic, through a quantitative-explanatory study, with a quasi-experimental and crosssectional design. The sample consisted of 30 older adults belonging to the Lions Club of the Sigsicalle Sur neighborhood, divided into an experimental group and a control group, with 15 persons each. Regarding the results, the experimental group presented pre- and post-intervention adherence percentages of 65.3% and 76.15%, respectively. While the control group decreased adherence by 1,48%. Regarding the first dimension related to the intake of medication, food and exercise, adherence increased by 12.77%, regarding the dimension related to medical-behavioral follow-up, it increased by 7.14% and regarding the third dimension of self-efficacy, it increased by 12.64%. In conclusion, the effectiveness of the intervention on therapeutic adherence is shown, so that the significant contribution of the educational role of nursing during the COVID-19 pandemic can be affirmed.
