Self-care adherence and associated factors among hypertensive patients at Guraghe Zone, 2023.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hypertension is the primary cause of cardiovascular disease and early mortality. Self-care is important for the prevention of hypertensive-related complications, and it was found to be necessary to determine the self-care adherence of hypertensive patients in Guraghe Zone, as there are limited findings in this area. The other reason for conducting this study was that there are certain variables related to self-care that have not been well studied, such as BMI, the number of antihypertensive medications, and the duration of antihypertensive drugs the patients are taking.

Objective

To assess self-care adherence and associated factors among hypertensive patients at Guraghe zone public hospitals.

Methods and materials
