Low level of health literacy is more common in people with hypertension.

Sampling was conducted using a convenience method based on inclusion criteria (age 60 years and older, high blood pressure and taking antihypertensive drugs for at least 6 months, ability to speak and communicate, having the suitable physical condition (not ill) to participate in research and answer questions, and having informed consent to participate in the study). The research instruments included a Health Literacy Questionnaire for Iranian Adults, a self-efficacy questionnaire in patients with hypertension, and a self-care behavior questionnaire for patients with hypertension. Descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the data using SPSS software version 19.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Key Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The results showed that most patients had adequate health literacy with a mean score of 116.77 (standard deviation [\n                      <jats:italic>SD<\/jats:italic>\n                      ] = 8.34), excellent self-efficacy with a mean score of 23.06 (\n                      <jats:italic>SD<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 1.99) and relatively desirable self-care behaviors with a mean score of 51.79 (\n                      <jats:italic>SD<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 4.37).
