Abstract

            This quasi-experimental research aimed to study the stroke prevention behaviors, levels of high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease risk in the experimental group before and after enrolling in the stroke prevention program and between the experimental group after enrolling in the stroke prevention program and a comparative group. Seventy-six hypertension patients who had not previously been diagnosed with a stroke, aged from 35 to 70 years old, were recruited and separated into 2 groups as mentioned. The instruments were the self-management program with Chan Chana application, a web assessment application for the Thai Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) risk score, and a stroke prevention behavior questionnaire. The instruments were examined the content validity by experts and achieved a .90 score. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was .77. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Wilcoxon signed-rank test.

            The research result showed that after enrolling in the program, the experimental group had a significantly higher mean score in the stroke prevention behaviors than before enrolling in the program and the comparative group at the level of .05. Moreover, the mean score of blood pressure and cardiovascular disease risk of the experimental group was significantly lower than before enrolling in the program and the comparative group at the level of .05.

            The health care providers should promote the self-management program with the Chan Chana application to be a guideline for developing a care model for clinical chronic illness outcomes.
