Key result
Perceived barriers, outcome expectations, and self-efficacy best predict hypertension self-management behaviors.
Why the study?
Hypertension is a key risk factor for several diseases, prompting the evaluation of determinants of hypertension self-management behaviors using an intervention mapping approach.
Cross-Sectional (n=800)
Perceived barriers, outcome expectations, and self-efficacy are key determinants of hypertension self-management behaviors, which can inform the design of future behavioral interventions.
May guide targeted hypertension education; leaves open whether modifying these factors improves behaviors in trials.
Background: Hypertension is one of the key risk factors for several diseases. Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the determinants of hypertension self-management behaviors (HSBs) based on intervention mapping approach. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 800 hypertensive patients in southwestern Iran in 2018. A structured questionnaire was applied for data collection. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 16. Results: The mean age of respondents was 58.25 years (SD: 12.10; age range: 30 - 74 years). The best predictors for HSBs were perceived barriers, outcome expectations, and self-efficacy. Conclusions: Our findings have implications for the evidence-based design of HSBs promotion interventions.

Mirzaei-Alavijeh et al. (2021) conducted a cross-sectional in Hypertension (n=800). Perceived barriers, outcome expectations, and self-efficacy were the best predictors for hypertension self-management behaviors in a cross-sectional study of 800 patients.
