Abstract
Older adults exhibit a learning style that is different to other age groups. Facilitating supportive learning experiences for older adults with chronic illness is a key element of health education. Health care providers play a crucial role in health education of older adults with chronic illness.This study explored HCPs芒�?�? perceptions about their practices, and policies regarding health education for Thai older adults with hypertension. Five medical practitioners and 8 registered nurses from 5 community primary care units, within Thailand were interviewed. The interviews were conducted using semi-structured questions based on World Health Organisation芒�?�?s health promotion framework (2012) and best practice recommendations for the education of older adults. The data were analysed using the 5 steps of the Morse and Field芒�?�?s (1995) process of content analysis. Currently data analysis is underway to reveal the factors that influence health education of Thai older adults with hypertension. Preliminary analysis suggests that the medical practitioners and nurses conduct health education differently. Nurses are more likely to adapt their practices to suit the older adult芒�?�?s capabilities while the medical practitioners follow recommended general guidelines for education of adults with hypertension. Understanding the factors that influence the health education of Thai older adults with hypertension will lead to better provision of health promotion for older adults.Biography
