Abstract

Introduction: Monks are a high - risk group of people who are facing chronic diseases and high blood pressure due to eating behavior and exercise with limitations in the Buddha discipline.

Research objectives: To study the effects of a disease prevention program on health perception, behaviors and blood pressure levels of monks who were groups at risk for high blood pressure.

Research methodology: This study was quasi -experimental research with one group measurement before and after. The sample was the monks with risk for high blood pressure. Monks retreated in the Phon Sawan District of Nakhon Phanom Province were selected with a random sample to meet the criteria of 35 people. The study was conducted within 12 weeks. The measurements used to collect data were personal information, health belief questionnaires, and behavior questionnaires. The experimental measurement was a prevention program. Data were analyzed using mean, percentage, standard deviation, and dependent t - test.

Results: The study revealed that after receiving the disease prevention program according to the health belief model the sample group had a significantly higher mean score than before joining the program with statistical significance (p < .001), and the mean blood pressure level was lower than before joining the program with statistically significance (p < .001)

Conclusion: The program helps make people aware of health belief patterns on behaviors for preventing high blood pressure in high - risk monks’ effectiveness leading to lower blood pressure levels.

Implications: Nurses should use this program to improve behavior for preventing high blood pressure among monks with risk group monks results in lower blood pressure levels.
