Abstract
Background: Complications from uncontrolled hypertension can affect quality of life. Controlling blood pressure within the target range requires appropriate methods. Self-management programs provide patients with the knowledge and skills to control blood pressure levels. and can prevent various complications
Methods: The quasi-experimental research, two group pretest-posttest designs. Thirty-two subjects Experimental group an 8-week self-management program. Thirty-two subjects control group normal care. Data were collected by an interview form consisting of 2 parts: 1) personal attribute data and 2) self-management behavior data. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inference, including chi-square test, Paired t test, and independent t test.

The difference was statistically significant (p<.05) and when comparing the mean blood pressure between the experimental group and the control group. It was found that the experimental group had an average systolic BP of 134.72 (SD= 8.43) less than the control group with an average of 153.69 (SD= 15.45), a difference of 18.97 mmHg and the mean diastolic BP of the experimental group was 80.63 (SD= 8.43) less than the control group with an average of 89.63 (SD= 6.69), a difference of 9 mmHg. statistically significant difference (p<.05)
