Each participants completed the Knowledge Scale (developed by Dr. Lee, 1986), SelfEfficacy Scale (Sherer et al., 1982) and Hypertensive Patient´s Self Care Scale (developed by researcher, 1993).
The collected data were analyzed using Pearson Product-moment Correlation, t-test and Analysis of Variance.
The results were as follows:
1. Hypothesis 1, stating that the higher the score of knowledge, the higher the score of self care in hypertensive patients was not supported (r= -0.2077, p= 0.082).
2. Hypothesis 2, stating that the higher the score of self-efficacy, the higher the score of self care in hypertensive patients was supported (r= 0.4035, p= 0.000).
3. Supplementary analysis of the data indicated that there was a significant relationship between kind of job held by respondents and self care (p < .05).
4. There was not significant relationship between knowledge and self-efficacy (r= -0.0458, p= 0.704).
