The data were collected by using Self-Efficacy for stroke prevention questionnaire. Content validity of questionnaire was evaluated by experts, resulting in 0.96. The reliability of questionnaire was examined using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, resulting in 0.81. Descriptive and paired sample T-Test statistics were used for the data analysis.


Results: Self-Efficacy for stroke prevention in hypertension patients after received self-care promotion program was significantly higher than before entering the program (p<.05).


Conclusion: Self-care promotion can be used to enhance self-efficacy to prevent stroke and reduce the complications
