FACTORS PREDICTING HYPERTENSION PREVENTIVE BEHAVIORS AMONG MONKS IN MUEANG DISTRICT, CHIANG RAI PROVINCE
Keywords:
hypertension preventive behavior, Buddhist monkAbstract
This predictive research focused on hypertension preventive behavior and related influencing factors among monks in Mueang District, Chiang Rai Province. The sample size calculated using G* Power 3.1 software resulted in 111 monks aged 20 years and over in Mueang District, Chiang Rai Province. Data collection tools included a health belief plan questionnaire on preventing hypertension for monks, divided into five aspects: perceived risks, perceived severity, perceived benefits of practice, perceived barriers to practice, and perceived self-efficacy in preventing hypertension. Additionally, a hypertension preventive behavior questionnaire for monks was utilized. The instruments were tested for reliability and validity, with Cronbach’s alpha coefficients of .93 and .70, respectively. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis.
The results indicated that most monks in Mueang District, Chiang Rai Province, had a moderate level of hypertension preventive behaviors (76.6%). Factors predicting hypertension preventive behaviors among these monks with statistical significance were perceived risks
(OR = .07, 95%CI = .01 - .47, p = .01), perceived benefits of practice (OR = 33.31, 95%CI = 2.47 - 448.62, p = .01), and perceived self-efficacy in preventing hypertension (OR = 12.83, 95%CI = 3.35 - 49.10, p = .00). These factors, together, could predict 36% of the hypertension preventive behaviors.
