The Effect of Education Based On Pender's Model on Health-Promoting Behaviors in Patients Undergoing Coronary Angioplasty: A Randomized Control Trial Study

Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death and disability. Therefore, the prevention and management of this health condition are vitally important. The present study aimed to determine the effect of educational intervention based on Pender's health promotion model on health-promoting behaviors in patients undergoing coronary angioplasty.

This is a randomized control trial study, in which a total of 96 patients undergoing coronary angioplasty in Farshchian Heart Center in Hamadan in 2020 were allocated into two groups of intervention and control. The intervention group, in addition to the routine training in the control group, received 3 training sessions based on the Pender model. The Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP II) was completed in both groups. Descriptive and analytical statistical tests and SPSS software version 16 were used to analyze the data.

The result showed that in both intervention and control groups, there was a statistically significant difference in the mean scores of the domains of health responsibility, physical activity, nutrition, spiritual growth, interpersonal relations, and stress management after the intervention (p<.001). Furthermore, in the control group, no statistically significant difference was found (p>0.05). But this difference was shown to be statistically significant in all domains in the intervention group (p<.001).

Based upon the results of the present study, the patient education based on Pender's health promotion model has a positive effect on health-promoting behaviors in patients undergoing coronary angioplasty, as this educational approach can be appropriate for improving the state of health in these patients.
