Abstract

This quasi-experimental research aimed to study the effect of self-efficacy
program on self-care behaviors in hypertensive patients at Yo Health Promoting
Hospital, Kham Khuean Kaeo District, Yasothon Province. The study was two group

pre-post test design. The sample were totally 88 subjects, divided into experimental
group consisted of 44 subjects and comparison group consisted of 44 subjects. The
subjects in the experimental group attended 5 activities for 12 weeks in self-
efficacy program. These 5 activities included 1) providing knowledge and direct

experience to control blood pressure 2) interpersonal relation practice 3)
motivation 4) evaluation of physiological changes and 5) follow-up to a self-care
practice alert. The comparison group got routine conventional health care services
from their Sub- district Health Promoting Hospital. Data collected using an

interview. The data was analyzed by descriptive statistics, percentage, mean,
standard deviation and analyzed with analytical statistics, paired t– test and
independent’s t-tests.
The result was shown that after attending the program, the sampling group

got higher average score for self-efficacy and was able to utilize self-care behaviors
to prevent complications from hypertension better than before attending the
program, with statistically significant difference, compared to the normal group.

Consequently, the sampling group’s hypertension level had decreased compared
to the level before they attended the program, and to the normal group with
statistically significant difference. The results of the study showed that the self-
efficacy program could increase the perceived self- efficacy, led to an
improvement of health, and then affect hypertensive patients to be able to

control the systolic and diastolic pressure in appropriate level.
