Hypertension, 7-color traffic ping pong, Motivation buildingAbstract
This quasi-experimental research with a one-group pretest-posttest design compares high blood pressure levels before and after participating in health behavior modification using motivational techniques combined with the 7-color traffic ping-pong tool. The sample group consists of patients diagnosed with hypertension in the area of Nok Mueang subdistrict, selected through simple random sampling from those who met the specified criteria, totaling 60 participants. The research instruments included personal information, an automatic blood pressure monitor, and the 7-color life traffic ping pong tool, which are standard instruments. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics to compare the differences in blood pressure before and after participating in the program using the paired t-test.
The results revealed that after modifying health behaviors using motivational techniques combined with the 7-color traffic ping pong tool, the sample group exhibited systolic and diastolic blood pressure values post-experiment that were significantly lower than pre-experiment values at a statistical significance level of p < .05.
The findings suggest that healthcare personnel should modify health behaviors using motivational techniques combined with the seven-color traffic ping-pong tool to control and prevent hypertension.
