The Effect of Educational Intervention Based on Health Belief Model on Blood Pressure Control in Patients With Hypertension Referring to the Clinic of Shariati Hospital in Isfahan 2017-2018

Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension is the most important risk factor for death and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Blood was referred to the clinic of Shariati Hospital in Isfahan in 2017-2018. Methods: The present study was a clinical trial with a pretest- post test design with a control group. 90 patients with hypertension referred to the internal clinic of Shariati Hospital were randomly divided into two groups of 45 people (control and intervention). For the intervention group, training based on health belief model and the control group performed routine training.Data collection tools included a health belief model questionnaire, a pamphlet and an educational booklet that was presented to each member of the individual education intervention group in two sessions two months apart. In the second visit, blood pressure of all patients was taken by the student and questionnaires were completed by the patients after the intervention. Results: The results showed that there was a statistically significant difference between the mean of the main indicators of sensitivity, severity, benefits and barriers in the intervention and control groups before and after the intervention (p-v <0.05). Conclusion: It seems that the health model is effective in controlling blood pressure in patients with hypertension. Keywords: education, hypertension and health belief pattern

The effect of web-based education on self-care behaviors in cardiovascular patients: application of the pender’s health promotion model

“…The present findings showed that although there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of perceived barriers before the educational intervention, the educational intervention reduced the barriers faced by patients in performing self-care behaviors in the intervention group. This finding was consistent with the results of studies conducted by Mohsenipouya et al [18], Sharp et al [21], Bakhshi et al [22], Shojaeifar et al [23], and Lari et al [20]. The results of a study by Sharp et al; [21] designed to determine the effectiveness of an educational intervention on self-efficacy and perceived barriers to healthy eating in cardiovascular patients over a period of 6 to 12 weeks after discharge showed that perceived barriers to healthy eating intake decreased significantly after the intervention.…”

Shojaeifar et al [ 23 ] in a study conducted among patients with hypertension found that there was a statistically significant difference between the mean of the main indicators of sensitivity, severity, benefits and barriers in the intervention and control groups before and after the intervention. These researchers managed to promote self-care behaviors in hypertensive patients.…”
