Data from each patient was collected by using questionnaire, at the initial visit and two month after education. Parametric and nonparametric tests were used for statistical analysis.
Results: Independent t test didn’t show a significant difference between two groups in the HBM's domains before the educational program (p>0.05). After education the same test indicated a significant difference between two groups (p<0.05), except in perceived barriers and perceived benefits domains (p>0.05). In the intervention group awareness from 11 to 15(p<0.0001), perceived susceptibility from 27 to 30 (p<0.05), perceived severity from 20 to 25 (p<0.0001), self efficacy from 19 to 22 (p<0.0001) and self care behaviors from 95 to 117 (p<0.0001) increased.
