Objective : This study aims at combining hospital and community resources to construct a counseling model. Furthermore, it also compares the differences in service improvement with regard to the following three aspects: satisfaction with blood pressure measurement, knowledge and willingness of volunteers and their willingness to participate. Methods : Conducted in the An-Nan District Office in Tainan from October, 2006 to March, 2007, we implemented the service improvement project to improve the procedures, equipment, training courses and health education resources. In order to explore its effectiveness, questionnaires were completed both before and after the service improvement project, on November 13 to 20, 2006 and on March 26 to April 5, 2007, respectively Results : First, for satisfaction with blood pressure measurement, a total of 60 questionnaires were collected before the project and 98 questionnaires were completed after the project. By means of the independent T-test, there were significant improvements in satisfaction with the following five items: (1) I am able to understand my blood pressure through the service of the station. (2) I am satisfied with the service of the station. (3) I am willing to check my blood pressure in this station next time. (4) I will introduce the station to my relatives and friends. (5) The station is my first choice when I need to check my blood pressure in the future. Second, with regard to the knowledge and willingness of volunteers, Wilcoxon signed-rank test results showed no significant improvement in the volunteers’ knowledge and skills in hypertension control based on 18 valid questionnaires. Third, with respect to the volunteers’ willingness to participate, the average of each item rose to above 4.3, but each item failed to show statistical significance. Conclusion : In conclusion, this project can be further applied to other stations. More importantly, this research not only puts community health promotion into practice but also contributes to establishing an effective model for the future development of community health promotion strategies in other hospitals. |
