Abstract

This descriptive correlational research aimed to study 1) intrinsic motivation and disease control behaviors among older adults with hypertension and 2) the association between intrinsic motivation and disease control behaviors among older adults with hypertension in Chiang Rai Province. The study framework utilized the concept of self-determination theory by Deci and Ryan (1985). The sample consisted of individuals aged 60 years and over with hypertension receiving services at Subdistrict Health Promoting Hospitals in Chiang Khong District, Chiang Rai Province, from April to May 2023. 312 participants were selected. The research instruments included a demographic data form, intrinsic motivation questionnaires, and questionnaires on disease control behaviors among older adults with hypertension. The content validity indices of both questionnaires were 1.0, and reliability, as measured by Cronbach’s alpha coefficients, showed values of .81 and .85, respectively. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson’s correlation coefficient.

The research results found that: 1) Participants exhibited a high level of intrinsic motivation for disease control among older adults with hypertension (M = 81.38, SD = 5.18), and they demonstrated a high level of behaviors for disease control among older adults with hypertension (M = 56.61, SD = 4.62); and 2) Older adults with hypertension who had a high level of intrinsic motivation showed statistically significant correlation with a high level of behaviors for disease control (r = .411, p = .000).

This study demonstrated that intrinsic motivation is an important factor related to disease control behaviors among older adults with hypertension in Chiang Rai Province. These results provide health providers with insights to promote intrinsic motivation among older adults with hypertension to encourage appropriate disease control behaviors.
