Abstract

Abstract

Cross-sectional descriptive research study aimed to study either selected factors association or jointly predict factor effected to behavior of cardiovascular disease prevention among people of risk group. Population consisted of 285 people of risk group in Thepkrasattri Municipality, Thalang Hospital, Phuket Province in fiscal year 2026, and the sample size calculating used Daniel formula for 172 cases, and systematic random sampling was determine for collecting data. Data collected by structured interview composed of 4 parts including, characteristics, knowledge, health perception and behavior for cardiovascular disease prevention. In addition to check questionnaire standardization, validity was checked by 3 experts and try out testing reliability by Cronbach’s coefficient alpha about 0.834. Data analyzed using statistical as Pearson product moment correlation coefficient and Stepwise multiple regression analysis. The result showed that knowledge had mean score with high level (43.02%) ( =2.20, S.D.=0.781) health perception had mean score with high level (91.86%) ( =2.92, S.D.=0.274) and behavior for cardiovascular disease prevention had mean score with high level (98.26%) ( =2.98, S.D.=0.131), respectively. Factors can predict behavior of cardiovascular disease prevention including; knowledge (P-value<0.001) perceived of risk (P-value<0.001) perceived of severity (P-value=0.017) perceived of benefit (P-value<0.001), respectively. The accurate for prediction was 15.7 (R² =0.157).
