Self-care practice and associated factors among hypertensive patients who have follow-ups in public hospitals of Bahir-Dar City, Northwest Ethiopia, a mixed study

Less than half of the participants demonstrated good self-care practices for managing hypertension. Strategies, programs, and guidelines should be developed to help clients understand the importance of multi-dimensional well-being in relation to various aspects of hypertension self-care practices. Furthermore, all patients should receive comprehensive and tailored information on recommended self-care practices and be assessed for barriers to adherence to these practices.

Abstract

Less than half of the participants demonstrated good self-care practices for managing hypertension. Strategies, programs, and guidelines should be developed to help clients understand the importance of multi-dimensional well-being in relation to various aspects of hypertension self-care practices. Furthermore, all patients should receive comprehensive and tailored information on recommended self-care practices and be assessed for barriers to adherence to these practices.
