In the United States (US) approximately 75 million people suffer from high blood pressure and 75% of people with high blood pressure do not have their blood pressure under control (CDC, 2010). Recent studies have shown that management which includes self-monitoring may hold the key to sustainable blood pressure control in all populations regardless of race or ethnicity. Purpose: This qualitative study aims to discover critical influences that lead hypertensive middle-aged Americans to manage and self-monitor their blood pressure at home. Philosophical Underpinnings: The philosophical underpinnings used to guide this study are based on the qualitative research paradigm, symbolic interactionism and pragmatism. Methods: A grounded theory methodology was used in this study of English-speaking adults age 40-65 with high blood pressure, who manage and self-monitor their blood pressure at home at least once a month. Audio-taped, semi-structured interviews with open-ended questions were utilized to collect data. Categories are formed to capture all major themes. Results: The following three dominant categories emerged from the data: accepting the diagnosis, establishing support and tending to health. A core category of daring to live under pressure was constructed and reflected the participants\u2019 critical influence in management and self-monitoring of their blood pressure. A conceptual model of the dominant categories was developed to guide future intervention studies. Conclusion: Accepting the diagnosis, establishing support, and tending to health for individuals with high blood pressure are crucial to abating this chronic disease in middle-aged adults." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Classification" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "RA645.H9 M33 2013" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Publication Date" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "2013" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Genre" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Academic theses" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Holding Location" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Barry University Archives and Special Collections" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Resource Identifier" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "RA645.H9 M33 2013_MccurdyRosalee" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Language" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "English" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Permanent Link" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "http://sobekcmsrv.barrynet.barry.edu/AA00001578/00001" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Creator" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "McCurdy, Rosalee E." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Note" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Thesis (Ph.D.)--Barry University, 2013.", "Includes bibliographical references (leaves 130-146)." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Physical Description" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "v, 163 leaves : ill. ; 28 cm" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Publisher" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Barry University" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Place of Publication" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Miami, Fla." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Type" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Book" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Rights Management" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Copyright Rosalee E.
