Abstract
Objective: This quasi-experimental research aimed to examine the effects of a self-management promoting with family support program on recurrence-prevention behaviors and blood pressure for Muslim elderly with ischemic stroke. The sample comprised Muslims with ischemic stroke from the chronic disease clinic in a tertiary hospital. Methods: Samples were purposively recruited and divided into control and experimental groups, with 25 participants in each group, and followed for eight weeks. Research instruments included the self-management promoting program with family support (content validity index: CVI = .96), the recurrence-prevention behaviors questionnaire (Cronbach alpha coefficient = .83) and digital blood pressure monitor. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired t-test and independent t-test. Results: The mean score of the recurrence-prevention behaviors in Muslim elderly with ischemic stroke at eight weeks was higher than that before receiving the program and was significantly higher than that in the control group (p < .001). Systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure in Muslim elderly with ischemic stroke were lower at eight weeks than before receiving the program (p < .001, p < .05 respectively) and were statistically significant lower than those in the control group (p < .001). Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that the self-management promoting with family support program led to better control of blood pressure levels among Muslim elderly with ischemic stroke. Therefore, elderly Muslims with ischemic stroke should receive additional knowledge and skill on self-management with support from the family to improve their recurrence-preventive behaviors.
