Nizal Sarrafzadegan*
Objective: To determine the impact of self-care and its determinants on blood pressure control in elderly patients with hypertension in Isfahan, Iran.
Methods: This Cross-sectional study included2100 patients with hypertension aged more than 65 years. We calculated and compared self-care behaviours score between patients with controlled and uncontrolled hypertension.
Results: Uncontrolled blood pressure group has lower levels of self-care score than controlled group. Factors like Knowledge, attitude and practice about hypertension control, family support, socioeconomic status and underlying diseases have affected self-care behaviour score in controlling patients' blood pressure.
Discussion: Our findings led to future studies to examine the effect of education and training programs on hypertension control in this group of patients.
