Hyperlipemia is the most leading risk factor of cardiovascular disease which is the main of death in Korea. however there is a tendency to neglect the prevention and treatment since it has no specific symptoms. It has been reported that the level of serum-lipidcan be lowered by the improvement of eating habits. Therefore, it is highly likely that the development of programs on the improvement of eating habits through behavioral theory is required to the community nursing practice.
The theory of planned behavior, which assumes that human behaviors are determined by one’s intention to carry out the behavior, can be characterized by the point that behaviors are not only individual factors but also social behaviors relating to subjective norms. It is widely recognized that this theory has a high predictability on health behavior due to it s simplicity clearness, and measurability as well as high quality of being general. Thus, the theory of planned behavior could be useful in developing a model of a health promotion program to the change of behaviors of the risk group of cardiovascular disease Consequently, based on the theory of planned behavior, the purpose of this study is to develop an intention promotion program of the diet, and then to testify the effects.
The sample of this study consisted of 26 industrial workers who had proved hyperlipemia hum a medical examination in 1996 (experimental group 13, control group 13).
The intention promotion program, which includes education, monitoring, pressure, counselling on the level of individuals, families and organizations, was conducted for 10 weeks The purpose of this program was to promoting intention of the diet through changes of the prerequisite factors of intention such as behavioral belief. outcome evaluation. normative belief and control belief.
When it came to data analysis, the χ2-test and Fisher’s Exact test were used to compare the general characteristics between the experimental and the control group, an independent t-test for the other variables. ANOVA was used to the test hypothesis, and the Pearson correlation test for variable correlation.
The results of this study can be summarized as follows
1) There was a significant increase in the intention(F=18.51. p=.00) of diet in the experimental group.
2) Diets(F=2.51, p=.001) in the experimental group were better carried out than in the control
3) There was a moderate correlation between the intention of diet and performance (r~587, p=%003).
From the results, it can be concluded that the intention promotion program is very effective. leading to the change of health promotion behavior.
Above all, it is really valuable that the intention promotion program in this study regards health promotion behavior as a social behavior and that intervention was done on the level of family and organization. Consequently, when performing a health promotion program, social approach elevating the intention should go hand in hand in order to make the program effective.
