Abstract

OBJECTIVES This study aims to evaluated the effectiveness of participatory action-oriented training (PAOT) intervention for hypertension management among intercity van drivers. MATERIAL AND METHODS This quasi-experimental study applied concept and process of participatory actionoriented training and self-management to guide the development of the intervention addressing improvement in hypertension management behaviors. A total of 104 intercity van drivers with uncontrolled hypertension in Thailand were recruited to participate in this program. The intervention group (N = 52) received PAOT program, while the control group (N = 52) received conventional program. Data on hypertension management behaviors, and blood pressure were measured at baseline, 1 month and 3 months after intervention. RESULTS At 3 months after intervention, hypertension management behavior, and systolic blood pressure were significantly different between 2 groups (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS This PAOT was found to be feasible and could potentially improve hypertension management, and blood pressure level of intercity van drivers. The program should be applied in further studies with other workplaces in both formal and informal sectors with different characteristics and other health issues.

参与式行动导向培训（PAOT）对城际货车司机高血压管理的干预效果。

本研究旨在评估参与式行动导向培训（PAOT）干预措施对城际面包车司机高血压管理的有效性。材料与方法本准实验研究采用参与式行动导向培训和自我管理的概念和过程来指导干预措施的开发，以改善高血压管理行为。共招募了 104 名泰国未控制高血压的城际面包车司机参与该项目。干预组（52 人）接受 PAOT 计划，对照组（52 人）接受常规计划。结果干预后 3 个月，两组的高血压管理行为和收缩压有显著差异（P < 0.05）。结论该 PAOT 是可行的，有可能改善城际面包车司机的高血压管理和血压水平。该计划应在其他正规和非正规部门的工作场所进行进一步研究，这些工作场所具有不同的特点和其他健康问题。Int J Occup Med Environ Health.2024;37(2).
