The purpose of this present study was to understand the effect
of self-monitoring on the decreasing of blood and body lipids
for the patients with hyperlipidermia. Quasi-experimental
Design was utilized and purposive sampling was conducted at an
OPD of a medical center. One hundred and twelve sample subjects
were randomly assigned into experimental and control group.
Subjects in both groups received a standard and systemic
teaching program that one to one oral teaching and a pamphlet
were provided to each s
In the pretest, both groups of subjects showed that the
knowledge of hyperlipid control and the efficacy of execute
diet control were moderate high; however, efficacy of execute
exercise to control their blood lipid was low. The blood lipid,
such as T-C, LDL-C, HDL-C and TG were high than normal in most
of subjects. However, in the body lipids, such as BMI, TSF and
WHR were within the normal range.
After three months self-monitoring, subjects in the
experimental group showed significant improvement of the
knowledge of hyperlipid control, the efficacy in execute both
diet and exercise for the control of hyperlipid, and the
decrease of the blood lipids profiles, but there were no
significant changes in the body lipid profiles. The study also
found that subjects with female, higher education, and brought
questions in the telephone reminding had better improvement in
the knowledge of hyperlipid-control th
To sum up, findings of this study demonstrated that patients''
self-monitoring for their hyperlipidermia can not only
effective on the improvement of knowledge and self efficacy in
lipid control, but also on the improvement of their blood and
body profiles. In addition, self-monitoring can modify
patients'' behavior on the diet and exercise and influence lipid
profile outcome directly.
