What this Trial Is About

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.

To Understand the Self-care Ability of Farmers and Fishermen With CMDs (Hypertension, Heart Disease, Hyperlipidemia, Type 2 Diabetes), Whether They Are Aware of CMDs, Their Treatment Status, Treatment Effectiveness, and Their Ability to Describe Known and Practice the Self-care Content of CMDs.
