Abstract:
Objective To explore the effects of health belief mode (HBM)-based home visits on the blood pressure (BP) and health-related behaviors of elderly hypertensive patients.Methods One-year HBM-based home visits were paid to 114 elderly hypertensive patients over 80 years old chosen from the community.The normalization rate of blood pressure after intervention at 3,6,12 months and health-related behaviors after intervention were also compared with those of pre-intervention.Results The BP after intervention was improved significantly after intervention as compared with that of pre-intervention (P＜0.01).Health-related behaviors after intervention were significantly more than those before pre-intervention (P＜0.01).Conclusions The hypertensions are controlled effectively with the implementation of the HBM-based home visits to the elderly hypertensive patients.The development of disease in elderly hypertensive patients can be slowed down and their life quality can be improved.
