Keywords:
hypertension, health promotion behaviors, Pender health promotion modelAbstract
This descriptive and comparative study aimed to examine health promotion behaviors of patients with hypertension between controlled and uncontrolled blood pressure group. This study was conducted with 226 patients from 4 health promoting hospitals (HPH): Lak-Hok1, Lak-Hok2, Bangpoon1, and Bangpoon2. Samples were equally divided into two groups: patients with controlled hypertension and those with uncontrolled hypertension. Research instruments included the Demographic Data Questionnaire and Health Promotion Behaviors. The questionnaire was developed based on Pender’s Health Promotion Model. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and independent t-test.
The result revealed that mean scores on overall health promotion behavior of both groups were at a moderate level. Results on six aspects of health behavior of the controlled group showed that 1) patients with controlled blood pressure group, three aspects of health behavior; interpersonal relations, spiritual growth, and stress management were at good level; and the aspect of health responsibility, physical activity, and nutrition were at moderate level. 2) Among those who were in the uncontrolled group, two aspects of health behaviors; spiritual growth, and stress management were at good level and the rest, health responsibility, physical activity, nutrition, and interpersonal relations were at moderate level. It is worth noting that the mean score on overall health promotion behavior, health responsibility, and interpersonal relation of the patients with controlled hypertension were significantly higher than uncontrolled hypertension group (p<0.05).
The results are useful for developing health behavior assessment guideline for patients with hypertension in order to enhance required health behaviors to control their blood pressure effectively.
