Self-management improvement program combined with community involvement in Thai hypertensive population : an action research . OBJECTIVE To investigate the effectiveness of a program that utilizes community involvement to improve the self-management strategies among people living with hypertension . MATERIAL AND METHOD Forty-four subjects , aged 35 to 59-year-old , with hypertension in Nakhon Pathom Province , Thailand , were randomly allocated to either an experimental group ( n = 22 ) or a control group ( n = 20 ) . The experimental group attended a program to improve self-management methods based on social cognitive theory ( SCT ) . The program lasted 12 weeks , consisted of 1 1/2 hours meeting once a week , including group meetings and home visit monitoring . Mann-Whitney U test and Friedman test were employed to analyze the program 's effectiveness . RESULTS After the program , the mean rank of the perceived self-efficacy for the self-management strategies was statistically different between the two groups ( p = 0.023 ) . In the experimental group , after the twelve week , the mean rank of perceived self-efficacy and outcome expectancy increased and diastolic blood pressure decreased after the eight week . CONCLUSION The program applied social cognitive theory ( SCT ) to promote self-management techniques , increased the health promoting behavior among hypertensive people .
