Keywords:

The purposes of this research were to investigate stroke prevention behaviors and study factors predicting stroke prevention behavior of hypertensive patients im Saingam District, Kamphaeng Phet Province. The sample included 383 hypertension patients aged 35 and over who were registered for treatment at Sai Ngam Hospital and lived in the Sai Ngam district of Kamphaeng Phet province. Stratified random sampling was used to recruit the sample. A questionnaire was used as the research tool which comprised five sections: 1) demographic data, 2) stroke knowledge, 3) stroke perception based on the health belief model, 4) perceived social support, and 5) stroke prevention behaviors. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and stepwise multiple regression.
The findings revealed that 1) the majority of hypertension patients had a high degree of stroke knowledge, and 2) stroke perception based on the health belief model at moderate. They had a low level of perceived social support, while stroke prevention behavior was moderate. Factors predicting hypertensive patients' stroke prevention behaviors included stroke knowledge, perceived barriers to prevention behavior, perceived media social support, perceived family social support, and neighbors' social support. The factors accounted for 23.9% of the variance of stroke prevention behavior (p<0.01).
Recommendations from this research suggest that health promotion agencies should integrate perceived social support and health belief model to develop programs or activities for families or neighbors in community to support education and create awareness of disease prevention behaviors for hypertensive patients and the general public.
