This quasi-experimental research aimed to evaluate the effects of the health believe model program on stroke preventive behaviors and blood pressure levels among adult workers with uncontrolled hypertension in Kamphaeng Phet Province. The sample consisted of 62 working-age individuals with uncontrolled blood pressure, divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group participated in the Health Belief Model-based program for 8 weeks. The data collection tool was a stroke prevention behavior questionnaire, which had a content validity of 1.00 and a reliability coefficient of 0.84. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, paired t-test, and independent t-test.
The results of the study found that after the implementation of the stroke prevention program, the experimental group had a significantly higher mean score for stroke prevention behaviors (Mean diff. = 1.28, 95% CI = 1.27-1.63, p-value < 0.05) compared to the control group (Mean diff. = 0.23, 95% CI = 0.27-0.38, p-value < 0.05). The experimental group had significantly lower mean systolic blood pressure after the intervention (Mean diff. = 3.23, 95% CI = 2.68-3.78, p-value < 0.05), and significantly
lower mean diastolic blood pressure (Mean diff. = 1.94, 95% CI = 1.65-2.22, p-value < 0.05). It was concluded that the health believe model-based program had a positive effect on stroke prevention behaviors and blood pressure control.
