Abstract: Objective To investigate the characteristics of self-management behaviors in patients with hypertension based on latent profile analysis (LPA), and to analyze the association between self-management behaviors and blood pressure control. Methods A total of 595 hypertensive patients were enrolled from eight community health service centers in Shunyi District of Beijing. The questionnaire including demographic characteristics and self-management behaviors, and physical examination including blood pressure measurement were used to conduct the survey. Results Patients were divided into two categories based on LPA of self-management behaviors:the worse group including 100 patients (16.8%) and the better group including 495 patients (83.2%). The two groups were mainly profiled by smoking (mean score was 0.15 vs 6.94) and drinking (mean score was 2.32 vs 6.43). And there were significant difference in gender (χ²=163.290, P<0.001) and hypertension medication history (Z=-2.567, P=0.010). The worse group mainly contained male patients and patients with less than 5 years of medication history, while the better group was characterized by female and 10-19 years of medication history. Binary Logistic regression analysis about blood pressure control showed that:compared to patients with New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme, the blood pressure control was better in patients with Urban Residents Basic Medical Insurance and Ultra Personnel Medical Insurance (OR=2.618, 95% CI:1.549-4.423), and with Socialized medicine and Urban Employees Basic Medical Insurance (OR=3.449, 95% CI:2.196-5.415); compared to patients in the better group, the blood pressure control was poorer in patients of the worse group (OR=0.495, 95% CI:0.311-0.788). Conclusions Self-management behaviors of patients with hypertension are mainly classified by smoking and drinking. Interventions on self-management behaviors should be taken for male patients and for patients with shorter hypertension medication history. The attention and management for patients with New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme and patients with poor self-management behaviors should be strengthened.
