Abstract
ObjectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of trans-theoretical model (TTM) based intervention for patients with hypertension to promote physical activity.
MethodsA total of 118 patients were selected and randomly divided into experimental group (n=56) and control group (n=62) by random number table. The patients of the experimental group received the TTM-based intervention while the patients of the control group received the conventional intervention. The results of two groups were compared.
ResultsThe score of behavior changing stage and motor behavior of different follow-up time in two groups had significant differences (F=46.37, 50.44; P<0.01). The systolic pressure was (124.93±10.29) mmHg, diastolic pressure (78.32±8.42) mmHg in the experimental group that were lower than (133.24±11.87), (83.02±7.97) mmHg in the control group (t=-4.05, -3.11; P<0.01).
ConclusionsTTM based intervention is effective for patients with hypertension to promote physical activity.
