Data were collected by using questionnaires. The reliability of health literacy questionnaire was tested (KR-20) obtained .725, whereas the set of questions concerning perceived self-efficacy questionnaire, patient team provider communication questionnaire, and hypertensive self-care behaviors questionnaire were calculated by Cronbach ’s alpha, obtained .962, .734, .895, respectively. Descriptive statistic and multiple regression were used for analyzing the data.


          The results showed that patients with hypertension had good self-care behaviors (=137.98, SD = 7.27). Perceived self-efficacy was significant predicting self-care behavior at 44.10 percent (R2= .441, p< .0001). Perceived self-efficacy explained most of the variance in self-care behaviors (β = .368***, p< .001). In addition, there was no relationship between health literacy, patient team provider communication with self-care behaviors.


          Enhancing self-efficacy in nursing program to promote competency for self-care behavior of patients’ hypertension was suggested.
