The purpose of this quasi-experimental study was to examine the effects of a health promotion program on working patients with uncontrolled hypertension. The samples were 60 patients. They were randomly assigned into two groups: an experimental and a control group consisting of 30 patients in each group. The experimental group received 12 weeks of a Health Promotion Program based on Pender's concept and Application Line. The control group received the usual nursing care. The research instruments were questionnaires on commitment to a plan of action, Self-care Behaviors questionnaires, and blood pressure measurements. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, and paired t-tests.
The research findings revealed that after the intervention, the experimental group showed significantly higher commitment to a plan of action than before the intervention (p < 0.001), and higher than the control group did not show a statistically significant difference. After the intervention, health behaviors were significantly higher than before the intervention (p < 0.05), and considerably higher than the control group (p<0.001) except for taking medication and stress management, which were not significantly higher than the control group. Systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure were significantly lower than before the intervention (p < 0.001) and lower than the control group (p < 0.05).
The research results can be used as a guideline to promote health behaviors in patients with uncontrolled hypertension in conjunction with the use of the Line application, which will provide nurses with a channel to promote health promotion on commitment to a plan of action, and interpersonal influence through group activities.
