Abstract
Background: Self-care in patients with hypertension can be improved through education and implementation of learning theories. Aim: The present study aimed to determine the effect of educating self-care in patients with hypertension through the implementation of Banduraâ��s self-efficacy model. Method: A randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted on 60 patients with hypertension who visited a randomly selected group of health centers in Mashhad, Iran, during 2017. The intervention group participated in a self-efficacy training program designed based on the self-efficacy theory in the form of four 45-minute weekly sessions. The control group received the routine treatment provided by community health centers. Self-care was measured with the questionnaire of self-care in patients with hypertension at three stages of before the intervention, immediately after the intervention, and one month later. Data were analyzed in SPSS (version 16) software using repeated measures ANOVA. Results: The mean ages were reported at 62.0±6.9 and 59.3±9.2 in the intervention and control groups, respectively. The repeated measures ANOVA showed significant differences between the two groups after the intervention in terms of adherence to medication regimen (P=0.004), engagement in physical activity (P=0.002), adherence to weight management goals (P=0.006). Significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of their total self-care score immediately after the intervention and one month later (P=0.002). Implications for Practice: The use of Banduraâ��s self-efficacy theory can improve the self-care in patients with hypertension. Therefore, it is recommended to conduct further studies to examine the long-term effects of training programs based on this theory on the self-care behaviors of patients with hypertension.Â
期刊介绍:
The Evidence Based Care Journal (EBCJ) is an international, peer reviewed, scientific journal that seeks to promote the development and exchange of knowledge that is directly relevant to all spheres of patient care. The primary aim is to promote a high standard of clinically related scholarship which advances and supports patient care in practice. The Journal also aims to promote the international exchange of ideas and experience that draws from the different cultures in which practice takes place. Further, EBCJ seeks to enrich insight into clinical needs and the implications for patient care intervention and models of service delivery. Emphasis is placed on clinical practicality of research findings and strength of study design. EBCJ is essential reading for anyone involved in healthcare professions, whether clinicians, researchers, educators, managers, policy makers, or students. Contributions are welcomed from other health professionals on issues that have a direct impact on patient care.
