Hypertension is one of chronic diseases and the main concern because of its high morbidity and mortality. Confidence in care and lifestyle changes called cell efficacy is needed. Self-efficacy, a widely used psychosocial concept, is associated with the ability to manage chronic disease. The purposes of this study were to analiyze the correlation between self-efficacy with lifestyle on hypertension patients. The data obtained were analyzed by correlational analytic with a cross-sectional approach. The sample of this study was recruited with total sampling as much as 30 people. The data were analyzed by Spearman correlation with significance α<0.05. The study showed that self-efficacy of patients with hypertension was majorly high(73,3%), and lifestyle was a majorly healthy lifestyle (83,3%). There was a significant correlation between self-efficacy with lifestyle on hypertension patients (r=0.893; p<0.05). Nurses can increase self-efficacy of hypertension patients by providing support and motivation to improve a healthy lifestyle to prevent further complications
