    Abstract

    Background

    The successful management of hypertension requires sustained engagement in self-care behaviour such as adhering to medication regimens and diet.

This systematic review of observational studies aims to summarise and evaluate the quality of evidence available to support the association between self-efficacy and engagement in self-care behaviour in hypertension.
