The instruments were the health behavior questionnaire and blood pressure monitor. Data were analyzed using mean, percentage, standard deviation, and dependent t-test.
Results: There were statistically significant differences between pretest and posttest scores of health behaviors (p<.05). There was statistically significant lower difference of blood pressure between post-test and pre-test. (p<.05).
Conclusion: This effectiveness of Health Behavior Promotion Program was shown in behavior modification, particularly blood pressure control leading to decreased blood pressure.
