Abstract
This randomized controlled trial aimed to study the effects of Nutrition Education Program through Line Application on dietary behaviors in patients with primary hypertension. This study comprised of 58 patients with primary hypertension, aged 18 years and above who received medical treatment at the General Medicine Clinic in a tertiary hospital. Simple random assignment was used to assign into the experimental (n = 29) and control groups (n = 29). Data collection was performed using Demographic and Medical Information Questionnaires, Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension Questionnaire, Hypertension Knowledge Questionnaire, and Nutritional Education Program through Line Application. The content validity of this program was evaluated by 5 specialists. The researchers evaluated the reliability of Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension Questionnaire and Hypertension Knowledge Questionnaire by Cronbach’s alpha coefficient and KR-20 were 0.74 and 0.83, respectively. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and t-test.
The results revealed that after receiving the program, the dietary behaviors according to the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension scores in the experimental group were significantly higher than before receiving the program (t = -9.16, p < .01) and significantly higher than the control group (t = -2.75, p < .01). Based on this findings, Nutrition Education Program through Line Application could help patients with primary hypertension to improve their dietary behaviors. Therefore, nurses should apply this program to educate and promote appropriate dietary behaviors in patients with primary hypertension.
