Online Health Information Seeking: Implications for Self-Management in Hypertension

Both the OHISB and self-management behaviors of hypertensive patients are at a relatively low level. OHISB is an important influencing factor of self-management. Hypertensive patients with a higher level of OHISB have a higher level of self-management. In the future, information sources should be carefully controlled, and a variety of online health information channels should be combined to provide targeted online hypertension health education, thereby enhancing the self-management capabilities of hypertension patients.
