Abstract
This study was undertaken to assess the potential for mobilizing self-care resources in 10 persons with hypertension. Modeling and role-modeling theory provided the conceptual base for the experimental group. Ten persons with hypertension were matched with a comparison group. The results provide some evidence that theoretically sound nursing interventions can assist clients to mobilize self-care resources needed to enhance their well-being. Although further research with larger, randomly assigned samples is indicated, these findings suggest that nursing the person rather than the symptom might help people with hypertension contend with stressors, reduce stress, and deal with loss and grief.
