OBJECTIVE: To determine the practice of self and its relation to individual and sociocultural factors in hypertensive patients treated at a hospital in Huancayo. METHOD: Consisted of 50 patients treated at the hypertension program at a hospital in the city of Huancayo. This study was descriptive-correlational, not experimental. RESULTS: We found that the levels of self-care of patients who participated in the study are characterized as having an average level (68.00%), only 22.00% had a high level and 10.00% had a level Low. Regarding individual factors High level (48.00%) and means (42,00%) level was found. Sociocultural levels of hypertensive patients were Alto (50.00%), Medium (44.00%) and only a minority (6.00%) had a low level. These results allowed us to conclude that: There is a direct and significant relationship between the self and the individual and sociocultural factors of hypertensive patients in the hypertension program at a hospital in Huancayo, for a significance level of α = 0.05.
