A qualitative descriptive-interpretive study used in-depth, semi-structured, audio-recorded face-to-face interviews until data saturation. Interview transcripts were analysed thematically. The qualitative data were managed using NVivo version 14.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Most participants owned an HBPM device, yet their practices varied widely. Patients engaged in selective monitoring, measuring blood pressure mainly when symptomatic or close to clinic visits. Many adapted HBPM routines to fit competing life demands, resulting in irregular timing and frequency. Selective recording of readings, including omission of higher values, was frequently reported. Documentation preferences differed by digital literacy, with older patients preferring paper records. HBPM was often perceived as a healthcare provider (HCP) assigned task rather than a self-care behaviour. Limited and inconsistent guidance from HCP contributed to confusion and reduced motivation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among patients with uncontrolled hypertension, guideline-concordant HBPM was shaped by practical barriers, uncertainty about correct monitoring and documentation, and the extent of HCP engagement. Participants\u2019 selective monitoring and recording practices highlight the need for clearer patient education, consistent provider feedback, and tailored documentation approaches to support more reliable use of HBPM in primary care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/21501319261492882","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,20]],"date-time":"2026-10-20T23:44:02Z","timestamp":1792539842000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Experiences and Challenges of Home Blood Pressure Monitoring Among Patients with Uncontrolled Hypertension: A Qualitative Study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1239-8215","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aminath Shiwaza","family":"Moosa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"SingHealth Polyclinics, Research Department, Singapore"},{"name":"SingHealth-Duke NUS Family Medicine Academic Clinical Programme, Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rachel Wei Chun","family":"Peh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Population Health Research and Implementation, Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Prawira","family":"Oka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SingHealth Polyclinics, Research Department, Singapore"},{"name":"SingHealth-Duke NUS Family Medicine Academic Clinical Programme, Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chirk Jenn","family":"Ng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SingHealth Polyclinics, Research Department, Singapore"},{"name":"SingHealth-Duke NUS Family Medicine Academic Clinical Programme, Singapore"},{"name":"Centre for Population Health Research and Implementation, Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_8_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/J.CCL.2010.07.003"},{"key":"e_1_3_8_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/AJH\/HPV008"},{"key":"e_1_3_8_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/HYPERTENSIONAHA.114.03780"},{"key":"e_1_3_8_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/HYPERTENSIONAHA.110.160911"},{"key":"e_1_3_8_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/HYPERTENSIONAHA.121.18792"},{"key":"e_1_3_8_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/J.HLC.2019.08.006"},{"key":"e_1_3_8_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/JAMA.2019.9811"},{"key":"e_1_3_8_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/HJH.0000000000003653"},{"key":"e_1_3_8_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41440-025-02462-y"},{"key":"e_1_3_8_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/CM9.0000000000003431"},{"key":"e_1_3_8_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/eurheartj\/ehae178"},{"key":"e_1_3_8_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejim.2024.05.033"},{"key":"e_1_3_8_14_2","article-title":"Hypertension in adults: diagnosis and management","author":"National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE)","year":"2019","unstructured":"National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).
