Abstract

          Hypertension risk groups are those who have a higher probability of hypertension in the future, and who therefore need to monitor their blood pressure readings on a regular basis. This descriptive research aimed to study the Self-Monitoring Home Blood Pressure in a High-Risk Group of Hypertension in Baan Dai Sub-District, Maesai District, Chiang Rai Province. Purposive sampling of 30 individuals, in high-risk groups of hypertension aged 35 years and over (11 male and 19 female) resulted in data collected between June 2021 and July 2021. The tools used in this study consisted of the tools used to conduct the research: 1) a Handbook for Self-Monitoring Home Blood Pressure of Baan Dai Sub-District, 2) a Personal Health Guidelines book, and 3) an Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor; and the data-gathering instruments for observational Self-Monitoring Home Blood Pressure consisting of 3 parts: 1) a General Data questionnaire, 2) observation of Self-Monitoring Home Blood Pressure, and 3) suggestions. CVI = 1, Interrater Reliability = 1, an automatic blood pressure monitors were checked for accuracy against mercury blood pressure monitors.Descriptive statistics were used to analyze quantitative data, qualitative data were used to categorize the data.

          The results of the study found that most of the samples, 86.67%, were able to perform their own blood pressure measurement at home correctly in all 3 steps (step 1 the practice, step 2 manually recording, and step 3 self-reporting). It was also found that a sample of 4 older people was unable to perform their own blood pressure measurements correctly for any of the three procedures (13.33%).In two categories, there were positive recommendations for Self-Monitoring Home Blood Pressure: it allowed people to know their current blood pressure level. There are also steps that are simple to follow. Developmental proposals have been found that the participating family members can help the high-risk groups measure their blood pressure. Should be extended to people in the region who are at high risk of hypertension, and family members should assist the elderly.
