Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the determinants of hypertension self-management behaviors (HSBs) based on intervention mapping approach. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 800 hypertensive patients in southwestern Iran in 2018. A structured questionnaire was applied for data collection. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 16. Results: The mean age of respondents was 58.25 years (SD: 12.10; age range: 30 - 74 years). The best predictors for HSBs were perceived barriers, outcome expectations, and self-efficacy.
