Objective: to determine the level of self-care in older adult patients with arterial hypertension treated at the La Ensenada de Lima Health Center during the year 2023. Materials and methods: we used a quantitative approach with a non-experimental cross-sectional design and a descriptive approach. The population consisted of older adult patients with arterial hypertension treated at the La Ensenada Health Center, and the sample consisted of 63 patients. The survey technique was used; the instrument was a 22-question questionnaire distributed in 4 dimensions. Results: 21 older adults (33.33%) were aged between 66 and 70 years. Thirty-nine older adults (61.90%) were female. Self-care was moderate in 28 patients (44.44%). In the diet dimension, 32 patients representing 50.79% had moderate self-care. In the exercise dimension, 26 patients representing 41.27% had moderate self-care. In the harmful substance use dimension, 28 patients representing 44.44% had moderate self-care. In the therapeutic dimension, 29 patients representing 46.03% had moderate self-care. Conclusions: the level of self-care in hypertensive older adults attended at the C.S. La Ensenada was mostly medium.
