Instrument & Methods In this descriptive-analytical study, 240 patients with Hypertension referred to Hamadan Comprehensive Health Centers in 2019 were selected by multistage random sampling method and entered the study. The data were collected by interview and based on standard questionnaires of Health Literacy for Iranian Adults (HELIA) and Self-Care questionnaire. Data were analyzed by SPSS 24 software using Pearson correlation tests and linear regression. Findings 29. 2% of patients had inadequate Health Literacy and 42. 1% had moderate selfcare. There was a positive significant correlation between all components of Health Literacy and Self-Care in patients (p<0. 05). The level of education, economic status and Self-Care had a statistically significant relationship with patients’ Health Literacy (p<0. 05).
