Abstract
Abstract: The objective of this quasi-experimental research was to investigate the effect of a health literacy promotion program on cardiovascular disease prevention behaviors among persons with high risk of cardiovascular disease. The sample consisted of 62 high-risk persons with cardiovascular disease, divided into a control group and an experimental group, each of 31 participants selected by purposive sampling. The experimental group received usual nursing care and the health literacy promotion program for eight weeks and the control group received only usual nursing care. The health literacy promotion program was developed using Nutbeam’s health literacy concept. The tools used for data collection were the Personal Information Questionnaire, the Cardiovascular
Prevention Behavior Questionnaire, and the Health Literacy Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired t-test, and independent t-test. The results revealed that after the experiment, the mean scores of cardiovascular disease preventive behaviors among the experimental group were significantly higher than before receiving the program and significantly higher than those in the control group. The results of this study demonstrated that the health literacy promotion program resulted in the improvement of cardiovascular disease preventive behaviors. The program can be used as a guideline for nursing practice to prevent cardiovascular disease in persons with a high risk of cardiovascular disease in the future.
