Abstract
Background: Hypertension is a common chronic disease among older persons. It can contribute to severe complications, especially in persons who cannot control their blood pressure.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of aerobic dance using a loincloth with health folk song on health behavior and blood pressure among older persons with hypertension in the community of Maha Sarakham province.
Methods: A quasi-experimental study with a two-group pre-post-test design was used. The samples included 72 older persons with hypertension in the community randomly assigned into an experimental and a control group equally. The research instruments included the aerobic dance using a loincloth with health folk song program for 10 weeks and an automated sphygmomanometer. Data were collected by using demographic questionnaire, a health behavior questionnaire and a recording form of blood pressure level. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, a Paired t-test and an Independent t-test.
Results: After the program, the average health behavior score of the experimental group was greater than those of the control group with a significance level of .05. Moreover, the average systolic and diastolic blood pressure of the experimental group were lower than those of the control group with a significance level of .05
Conclusions: The aerobic dance using a loincloth with health folk song could improve the health behavior and reduce blood pressure among older persons with hypertension.
