The Effectiveness of Empower Health Behavior Modification for Stroke Disease Program Related to Stroke Prevention Behavior of Hypertensions Disease Patients Takfa District Nakhon Sawan Province

Abstract

             This  research  aim to study  the  effectiveness  of  Empower  Health Behavior  Modification  for Stroke  Program  which  effect to  knowledge of Stroke disease and health perception of Stroke disease in which perception compose  of   1)  perceived  susceptibility  of   Stroke  disease   2)  perceived severity  of  Stroke  disease  and  3)  perceived  benefits,  barriers,  warning signs of stroke  and  stroke  prevention  behavior.

             This study is experimental  research in  format of  true-experiment research that randomized  two group pretest–posttest  design.  The sample group  done  by  random   selection   research  compose  of  64  patients  in hypertension disease registered as patients of Tambon  Health  Promoting Hospital,  Takfa  District,  Nakhon  Sawan  Province.  The  sample  group is divided  by  stratified   random   sampling   into   1)   32   patients   random experiment  and  2)  32 patients  random assignment by matching  subject. The tool for testing is  Empower  Health  Behavior  Modification for Stroke Program and tools for collecting data are testing and questionnaire  forms. The analysis done by frequency, quantity, percentage, mean  and standard deviation. The comparative  differentiates  analysis of  testing  and control inside  of  each  group  done  by  Paired  Simple   t - test.   The  comparative differentiates  analysis of  testing and control  among  each  group done by Independent Simple t-test.  Comparative analysis  within the experimental group before the experiment, posttest and follow-up by one-way repeated-measures ANOVA.

             The research found that

             1. After experiment,  the experimental  group  obtain knowledge of Stroke disease and health perception of Stroke disease, as well as warning signs of  stroke  and  stroke  prevention  behavior better than prior testing period by the significant statistic level at .05

             2. After experiment,  the experimental  group obtain knowledge of Stroke disease and health perception of Stroke disease as well as warning signs of stroke  and stroke  prevention behavior better than control group by the significant statistic level at .05

             3. After experiment,  the experimental group obtain  knowledge of Stroke disease and health perception of Stroke disease as well as warning signs of  stroke  and  stroke  prevention  behavior  better  than  before the experiment and better than the follow-up by the significant  statistic level at .05
