Self-care practice and associated factors among hypertensive patients in Ethiopia: Umbrella review of systematic review and meta-analysis studies
This umbrella review revealed low self-care practices among hypertensive patients in Ethiopia, with the poorest adherence in physical activity and the highest in smoking cessation. Education and knowledge about hypertension were key influences on self-care. The review suggests promoting physical activity, targeted education, and integrating these strategies into public health policies, alongside conducting nationwide studies to improve interventions.
