Abstract

Hypertension as a chronic condition requires long-term management, in which self-efficacy is a critical determinant of therapeutic success. Low levels of self-efficacy correlate with perceptions of inability to adhere to therapeutic regimens, thereby potentially increasing the complications risk. This research sought to examine the significance of self-efficacy in the self-care management processes among individuals with hypertension. It employed a comprehensive literature review method, adhering to the PRISMA guidelines. Literature searches were conducted on Google Scholar, Garuda, PubMed, and EBSCO electronic databases using a Boolean search strategy with the keywords “self-efficacy,” “self-care management,” and “hypertension.” The inclusion criteria included empirical articles in Indonesian or English published between 2020 and 2025 that examined self-efficacy and self-care management, excluding systematic reviews. The selection process obtained 12 articles that fulfilled the narrative synthesis criteria, comprising five articles that explored self-efficacy and seven articles that focused on self-care management strategies. The analysis deduced that effective self-care practices are significantly influenced by knowledge, family social support, and telenursing interventions. The implementation of optimal self-care management has been demonstrated to improve self-efficacy by promoting sustainable lifestyle modifications, which are essential for preventing exacerbations and maintaining blood pressure stability, thereby encouraging more consistent therapy adherence, and contributing to improved overall health outcomes.
