Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, the Hypertension Knowledge Level Scale, the Newest Vital Sign, the Self-Efficacy to Manage Hypertension Scale, the revised Thai Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, the Communication Assessment Tool-Nurse, the Neighborhood Scales, and the Hypertensive Self-Care Activity Level Effects. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficients were 0.82, 0.84, 0.81, 0.92, 0.96, 0.73, and 0.72 to 0.96, respectively. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, logistic regression, and Pearson’s correlation.Results: A total of 326 participants were included and 80.1% of them had poor hypertension self-care practices. Individuals with moderate social support were 2.23 times more likely to have poor hypertension self-care practices compared to those with high social support (OR = 2.23; 95% CI = 1.11, 4.49; p-value < 0.05). Each unit increase in poorer resources was associated with a 1.05 times higher likelihood of poor hypertension self-care practices (OR = 1.05; 95% CI = 1.02, 1.09; p-value < 0.05). Four out of six domains of hypertension self-care practices—medication adherence, physical activity, smoking status, and alcohol consumption—were significantly associated with diastolic blood pressure (r = − 0.17, p < 0.01; r = − 0.11, p < 0.05; r = 0.23, p < 0.01; and r = 0.15, p < 0.05, respectively).Conclusion: Hypertension self-care practices could be improved through multilevel factors, including social support and neighborhood resources.Keywords: uncontrolled hypertension, self-care, social support, neighborhood resource |
