Introduction: Patients with a permanent pacemaker need appropriate self-care education. Enhancing their self-efficacy and family support is important in adherence to therapeutic regimens.
Research objective: to examine the effects of a self-efficacy and family support enhancement program on adherence to therapeutic regimens among patients with a pacemaker.
Research methodology: In this quasi-experimental research was conducted at a heart clinic in a tertiary hospital in Thailand. Patients with Permanent Pacemakers 52 subjects, Patients in the control group received standard treatment 26 subjects and the experimental group, those in the experimental group underwent a self-efficacy and family support enhancement program administered by the researcher 26 subjects. The researcher selects by purposive sampling. The research instruments included a demographic questionnaire; a family support questionnaire, and a questionnaire on adherence to therapeutic regimens for patients with permanent pacemakers. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, chi-square test, and independent t-test.
Results: The adherence score to therapeutic regimens among patients with permanent pacemakers in the experimental group after receiving self-efficacy with family support was statistically significantly higher than that of the control group (t = 5.77, p < .05) Period. The adherence score to therapeutic regimens among patients with permanent pacemakers in the experimental group was statistically significantly higher after receiving the program integrating self-efficacy with family support compared to before receiving the program (t = 4.85, p < .05).
Conclusions: The results of this study show self-efficacy and family support enhancement programs lead to increased adherence to therapeutic regimens among patients with permanent pacemakers.
Implications: Findings can be applied to self-efficacy and social support enhancement program programs aim to make it clear that we're talking about self-efficacy and family support enhancement programs.to attain appropriate and continuous care.
