Abstract

         

          Health belief and family support are important factors for improving preventive behaviors against cerebrovascular disease among individuals at risk. This quasi-experimental research (pretest-posttest design with non-equivalent group) aimed to study the effects of the health belief model with family support program on preventive behaviors against cerebrovascular disease among individuals at risk. A random sampling was used to recruit 60 diabetes and hypertension patients who have been registered as a moderate stroke risk group (experimental group = 30 and control group = 30). The experimental group participated in the health belief model with family support program and handbook preventive behaviors against cerebrovascular disease. Data were collected by the preventive behaviors against cerebrovascular disease questionnaire which had content validity index (CVI) of 1 and reliabilities of .89. Descriptive statistics and t-test were used to analyze the data.

          The results revealed that after the experiment, the experimental group had gained significant higher average difference scores on the preventive behaviors against cerebrovascular disease than the control group (t = 28.73, p < .001). When consider food behavior and exercise behavior, the experimental group had gained significant higher average scores difference on the preventive behaviors against cerebrovascular disease among risk patients than the control group (t = 22.23, p < .001 and t = 21.41, p < .001, respectively).

          The result recommends that nurse and other personnel can apply the health belief model with family support program is an effective program as guideline to improve preventive behaviors against cerebrovascular disease among this population.
