The Joint National Committee recommends that people with hypertension engage in six self-care activities. They are adhering to antihypertensive medication, maintaining or losing weight, following a low-salt diet, limiting alcohol, engaging in regular physical activity, and eliminating tobacco use. The objectives of the study are to assess the self-care activities in hypertensive patients among industrial workers and to determine the factors affecting the self-care activities.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A cross-sectional study was conducted in a field practice area of the Department of Community Medicine, Hyderabad, and included 170 insured persons who worked in an industrial setting and had known hypertension. Data was collected using a standard questionnaire (H-SCALE AND PHQ-4). A binary logistics regression was done to determine the factors associated with self-care practices.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Medication adherence was 63.5%, adherence to a low-salt diet and physical activity was 23.5% and 32.4%, respectively. About 78.2% were nonsmokers and 57.1% abstained from alcohol. Good weight management practices were seen only in 10% of participants. The overall prevalence of poor self-care practices was found to be 51.8%. Factors like age, illiteracy, semi-skilled and skilled workers, participants perceived health status, and unsatisfactory working environment were significantly associated with poor self-care practices.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Target health education for older adults and low-literacy groups on low-salt diets, exercise, and weight control.
