Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Hypertension Self-Care Profile.Methods: This methodological study was conducted with a total of 300 patients with hypertension who visited the internal medicine outpatient clinic of a hospital.The validity of the Hypertension Self-Care Profile was determined with language validity, content validity, and construct validity.The Cronbach's alpha, item-total score correlations, and test-retest were used in the evaluation of reliability.Results: Item-total correlations ranged from 0.37 to 0.58 for Behavior, 0.64 to 0.83 for Motivation, and 0.28 to 0.61 for Self-Efficacy scales.The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.81, 0.94, and 0.80 for Behavior, Motivation, and Self-Efficacy scales, respectively.The testretest reliability was between 0.96 and 0.99. Conclusion:The Turkish Version of Hypertension Self-Care Profile concluded that the scale is a valid and reliable tool and can be used to determine the self-care of patients with hypertension.
