Abstract
Introduction: Noncommunicable diseases are recognized as the major cause of old
people’s death. One of the models concerning the family health level is the family‑centered
empowerment model (FCEM) which has been designed with the aim of promoting the health
level and self‑esteem of the patients and their family members. Purpose: This study was
carried out to investigate about the effect of implementation of FCEM on the self‑esteem of old
people with high blood pressure. Settings and Design: This was a clinical trial study which
focused on 62 old adults with high blood pressure in 1392. After cluster sampling, samples
were divided randomly into test group and control group. Methods: FCEM was used for
the test group; whereas, for the control group, common health cares and one educational
session were performed. Study materials were checklist of demographic information, and
a researcher‑made questioner to evaluate the level of self‑esteem. Posttest was given
1‑weak after the intervention and was followed‑up 1½ months later. Statistical Tests: T‑test,
analysis of variance, and SPSS 20 were used to analyze the date. Finding: Before the
intervention, the mean scores of self‑esteem in both the test group and the control group
were the same (t = 0.55) (P > 0.05). However, 1‑week after the intervention (t = 6.38) and
1½ months later, meaningful differences were observed in the test group (P < 0.001).
Conclusion: Implementation of FCEM has a positive effect on the high self‑esteem of the
old people with high blood pressure.
