Purpose: This study was conducted to test the effects of a community health promotion project for farmers cultivating garlic. Bandura¡¯s self-efficacy theory (1986) and Chaskin¡¯s community capacity framework (2001) were used as the theoretical framework.
Methods: A nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design was used. Study participants were 72 garlic farmers (intervention: 36, control: 36). The community health promotion project consisted of health promotion program and community capacity building strategies and was provided for 12 weeks (8 during farming off-season and 4 during farming season). Data were collected between February 23 and May 31, 2009 and were analyzed using chi-square test, Fisher¡¯s exact test, t-test, and repeated measure ANOVA using SPSS/WIN 12.0.
Results: For the experimental group, significant improvement was found for self-efficacy, farming related health behavior, physical fitness (muscle strength, muscle endurance, upper body flexibility, lower body flexibility, cardiovascular endurance, balance, agility), farmer¡¯s syndrome, and health related quality of life as compared to the control group.
Conclusion: The findings of the study indicate that the community health promotion project for garlic farmers is effective and can be recommended as a nursing intervention for health promotion of garlic cultivating farmers.
