<![CDATA[Hypertension is one of the most common diseases worldwide. Its treatment does not rely solely on medical therapy but also requires patients’ ability to perform effective self-management. This study aimed to identify factors associated with self-management among individuals with hypertension. A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed. Purposive sampling was used, resulting in 93 respondents based on G*Power calculations, including individuals with blood pressure ≥140/90 mmHg or <140/90 mmHg with a history of hypertension. Bivariate analysis was conducted using the chi-square test, while multivariate analysis used logistic regression. The results of the chi-square test showed significant relationships between self-management and duration of illness (p=0.011), level of knowledge (p=0.009), and social support (p=0.021). In contrast, age (p=0.218) and education level (p=0.346) were not significantly associated with self-management. Logistic regression analysis indicated that duration of illness (p=0.009; Exp(B)=4.467) and social support (p=0.006; Exp(B)=2.835) were significant factors influencing hypertension self-management. This study concludes that duration of illness, knowledge, and social support are related to hypertension self-management, whereas age and education are not. Community health workers are encouraged to involve families, social environment and develop structured self-management-focused health education programs. Further research using observational methods and additional variables is recommended.]]>
