The Benefits of Improving Self-care Ability for Farmers and Fishermen With Existing Cardiometabolic Diseases

Status: Recruiting

Intervention Type: Behavioral
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

This project will be based on nursing scholar Dorothea Orem's self-care theory, integrating the concept of the \[life essential 8, LE8\] proposed by the American Heart Association, as well as our team's recent research findings. We aim to develop educational materials and tools tailored for this group, termed \[Self-Care Eight Essentials\] aligning with these theories and previous research outcomes. This study aims to present an overview of self-care abilities among farmers and fishermen with cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, identifying the distance from the ideal level and related influencing factors. It intends to establish self-care educational materials and tools tailored to the socioeconomic background of this specific population. Additionally, the study aims to transform these materials into tabletop game educational tools that possess credibility, effectiveness, and an element of entertainment. Through patents and technology transfer, these tools are expected to serve as convenient and effective guidance instruments for health bureaus and primary healthcare units.

Treatments
Experimental: The experimental group will have (CMDs self-care) teaching material and a [Monopoly board game] plan
1st-5th month: Complete the assessment of self-care ability and biochemical indicators, introduce the (CMDs self-care) teaching material manual, and evaluate the case's referral treatment status from the institution, and provide answers to questions. Played the Monopoly board game 8 times: On average, each community has about 2-3 groups (a group of 4-7 people), each group has a leader (seed teacher) to provide CMDs health education Q\&A before each board game activity . The 6th month: Conduct self-care process assessment in each community. The 7th-12th month: Telephone visits are provided every 2 months (3 times in total), each case lasts 5-10 minutes each time.
No_intervention: Only follow the community screening abnormality handling process and accept the referral treatment
After completing the assessment of self-care ability and biochemical indicators, use the referral treatment and care model of the health center or cooperative hospital; provide self-care manuals to each community in the first to second months, and providing answers to questions (same as the experimental group); conduct self-care process assessments in each community in the 24th week
