Abstract
This quasi experiment research aimed to study the effects of the modifying health promotion behavior program on self-efficacy health promoting behavior and health status of person with hypertension in community. The samples were 60 persons with hypertension in the community which were randomly selected by purposive sampling for the experimental group (n=30) and the comparison group (n=30). The experimental group received the modifying health promoting behavior program based on the Transtheoretical Model for seven times within twelve weeks. The comparison group received a routine care. Data were collected by undertaking the questionnaire and health status self-assessment at the beginning of the program implementation, and the program completion, and at the fourth weeks after the program completion. Data were analyzed by using percentage, means, standard deviation, repeated measure one-way ANOVA. The results revealed that the experimental group has a significantly higher mean score of self-efficacy, health promotion behavior and health status than those at the beginning of the program implementation (p-value<.05). According to the data analysis, this program can promote self-efficacy, health promoting behavior and health status of persons with hypertension. Therefore, health personals could apply this program for providing care among people with hypertension in their community.
