Material And Methods:
Trough an analytical cross-sectional study the association of self-care ability and the blood pressure control was evaluated. We studied controlled and uncontrolled hypertensive patients, both groups with 79 subjects. Self-care basic conditioning factors and capacities scale in patients with hypertension was used.
Results:
Self-care ability was good in 73.4% of controlled and in 3.8% of the uncontrolled patients (p < 0.05). The 91.2% of controlled and 67.9% of uncontrolled presented a positive family system (p < 0.05). Socio-cultural factors were good in 64.6% of controlled against 16.7% of the uncontrolled (p < 0.05). Environmental factors were good in 50.6% of controlled and 2.6% of the uncontrolled (p < 0.05).
Conclusion:
According to these results we conclude that there is association between self-care ability and control of hypertension.

Blood Pressure
The average BP in an adult is typically around 120/80 mmHg (millimeters of mercury). In this measurement, the numerator (120) indicates the systolic pressure, which is the pressure in the arteries during the contraction of the heart's ventricles as blood is expelled. The denominator (80) represents the diastolic...
