Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of cardiocerebrovascular disease prevention program for older adults who were members of a elderly school located in Y city on knowledge of cardiocerebrovascular disease, depression, and physiological parameters.
Methods: Nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design was employed. A total of 50 older people living in Y city were assigned into an experimental group (n=26) or a control group (n=24). The experimental group participated in a 8-weeks cardiocerebrovascular disease prevention program from October 10 to December 2 in 2016. Data were analyzed with SPSS/WIN 21.0 using descriptive statistics, x2 test, Fisher"s exact test, and t-test.
Results: The results indicated significant differences between the experimental group and control group in the scores of knowledge of cardiocerebrovascular disease (t=-4.60, p<.001), depression(t=3.65, p=.001), physiological parameters including systolic blood pressure (t=6.58, p<.001), diastolic blood pressure (t=4.56, p<.001), and blood glucose level (t=3.04, p=.004).
Conclusion: The cardiocerebrovascular disease prevention program have a significant effect on the change of knowledge of cardiocerebrovascular disease, depression, and physiological parameters for elderly school participants.
