Abstract
This quasi-experimental research aimed to study the effect of education and social support program on health behaviors in patients with cardiac permanent pacemaker. Patients with cardiac permanent pacemaker were recruited from Cardiovascular Patients’ Ward, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital. They were assigned to the control (n = 22) and experimental (n = 22) groups with matched pair technique by gender, age, and educational level. The control group was a conventional nursing care while the experimental group was treated with given knowledge and social support program. Questionnaires were composed of demographic information, health behavior of patients with cardiac permanent pacemaker, knowledge of health behavior of patients with cardiac permanent pacemaker, and social support questionnaires. All questionnaires were validated by 5 experts with the content validity indexes of 0.89, 0.92, and 0.83, respectively. The internal consistency reliability of all scales were 0.90, 0.74, and 0.81, respectively. Descriptive statistics and t-test were used to analyze the data. The results revealed as the followings:
The mean score of health behavior of the patients with cardiac permanent pacemaker after given knowledge and social support program in the experimental group was significant higher than that in the control group at the significant level of 0.05.
The results of this study recommend to use the education and social support program should be applied to care for patients with cardiac permanent pacemaker to be routine care according to the nursing role.
