Background: With rapid improvements in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), hypertension has become a public health challenge. Over 50% of adults aged 55-64 were reported to be diagnosed with hypertension in 2017, with men being at greater risk. Poor hypertension self-care can lead to significant complications, such as heart failure, heart attack, or kidney failure. Research supports the use of hypertension self-care behaviors towards improving patient outcomes. Self-efficacy and family social support are factors that may contribute towards better self-management. However, available literature to support this relationship in KSA is limited. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between family social support, self-efficacy, and self-care behaviors among male adults with hypertension in Saudi Arabia. Specific aims: This study aimed to: a) describe family social support, self-efficacy, and hypertension self-care behaviors among a sample of Saudi male adults with hypertension; b) determine the relationships between family social support, self-efficacy, and hypertension self-care behaviors among Saudi male adults with hypertension while controlling for potential confounding variables; and c) evaluate whether self-efficacy mediates the relationship between family social support and hypertension self-care behaviors among Saudi male adults with hypertension. Methods: This was a cross-sectional, descriptive correlational study using a convenience sampling approach. The total number of subjects included in the study was 160. They are Saudi male adults who have been diagnosed with hypertension for at least six months and receiving care at Primary Healthcare Centers (PHCs). The Hypertension Self-Care Profile and Perceived Social Support from Friends and Family scales were used for data collection. The translation of the scales into Arabic was done by an established forward- backward translation procedure. Internal consistency was assessed to determine the reliability of the questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation, Independent sample t-tests and multiple linear regression were conducted using SPSS. Conclusion: This study contributed to our understanding of whether family social support and self-efficacy were associated with the self-management of hypertension. Findings arising from this study were disseminated at the Journal of Nursing Measurement and the International Journal of Nursing Practice. Future intervention research should be conducted to determine whether there is a causal relationship between the variables.
