Abstract
Background and objective: Self-care behavior is an essential concept for preventing and managing stroke. This study aimed to explore the factors related to self-care behavior among people at risk of stroke in Nakhon Ratchasima Province.
Methods: A correlation study was conducted. Two hundred and sixty-two participants were recruited by using a simple sampling technique from the public health-promoting hospital, Nakhon Ratchasima Province, Thailand. Data were collected using six questionnaires from July to October 2021. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson’s product-moment correlation.
Results: The results revealed that people at risk of stroke had a moderate level of self-care behavior (M = 39.41, SD = 7.60). The factors that positively significant correlated to self-care behavior among people at risk of stroke were warning symptoms of stroke, social support, and monthly income (r = 0.64, p < 0.001; r = 0.38, p < 0.001; and r = 0.37, p < 0.001 respectively). The factors that significantly negatively correlated to self-care behavior among people at risk of stroke were stress and age (r = -0.60, p < 0.001; and r = -0.36, p < 0.001 respectively).
Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that healthcare providers could utilize these empirical data regarding factors related to self-care behavior among people at risk of stroke to plan and prevent strokes among people at risk of stroke living in communities.
