The mediating role of self-care self-efficacy in the relationship between health behavior and psychological wellbeing among community-dwelling older adults with hypertension
Self-care self-efficacy plays a partial mediating role between health behaviors and psychological wellbeing in older adults with hypertension. Interventions should enhance self-care self-efficacy and health education while tailoring support to those with lower literacy or longer disease duration. Promoting confidence in self-management may improve wellbeing, treatment adherence, and support healthier aging.
