- Abstract
Unhealthy eating behaviors are one of the major causes of Coronary vascular disease (CVD). The self-management program combined with social support (CIP) was implemented to improve the patients' self-management ability and maintain their eating behaviors to a healthier standard. The purpose of this study was to compare the scores of self-management and healthy eating behaviors of patients with CVD in the experimental CIP group before and after participation in the CIP. It also compared selfmanagement and healthy eating behavior scores between patients with CVD who entered the CIP with the usual nursing care group. This study was a quasi-experimental approach with 2 groups of pre-and posttests. The sample size of 50 cases, 25 in each group, was considered for the study. Questionnaires were used to assess the patient's self-management and healthy eating behavior scores. Descriptive statistics, dependent t-test, and independent t-test were used for the data analysis. The findings revealed that the experimental group showed a significantly (p < 0.05) increased average self-management (46.2 ± 5.6 to 51.1 ± 5.9) and healthy eating behaviors (39.3 ± 5.5 to 48.4 ± 4.0) scores after the program than before. They also had a significantly (p < 0.05) higher self-management and healthy eating behavior scores than the control group (51.1 ± 5.9 vs. 48.9 ± 6.0 and 48.4 ± 4.0 vs. 39.8 ± 7.5, respectively). This program increased the patients' self-management scores, and consequentially their healthy eating behaviors score also improved.
