Abstract
This quasi-experimental research aimed to examine the effectiveness of a motivational interviewing program on knowledge, attitude, behaviors, and blood lipid levels among patients with hypertension. Samples were 60 patients with hypertension having dyslipidemia. Research instruments consisted of a motivational interviewing program and a set of questionnaires assessing knowledge, attitude and preventive behaviors for dyslipidemia. Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, independent t-test and paired t-test. The results were as follows; 1)After program completion, the experimental group had significantly better knowledge, attitude, and preventive behaviors for dyslipidemia than that of the control group (p<.05). 2)After program completion, the experimental group had significantly lower total cholesterol, triglyceride levels (p<.05), and higher HDL-cholesterol levels than that of the control group (p<.05). However, there was no significant difference in LDL- cholesterol levels between groups (p<.01). 3)After program completion, the experimental group had significantly better knowledge, attitude, and preventive behaviors for dyslipidemia than that of before (p<.05). 4)After program completion, the experimental group had significantly lower total cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL- cholesterol levels, and higher HDL-cholesterol levels than that of before (p<.01). Findings from this study indicated that a Motivational Interviewing Program could be used for behavioral modification and dyslipidemia reduction in patients with hypertension.
