Abstract

An experiential learning program involves the use of experience to promote correct actions. This quasi-experimental two-group pre-post measurement aimed to study the effects of an experiential learning program on home visiting practices for persons with hypertension among village health volunteers (VHVs). A total of 52 VHVs were purposively sampled and divided equally into two groups: program recipients and regular service. The study employed Kolb's experiential learning theory (2015) over 5 weeks, incorporating PowerPoint materials, a home visit practice guide, information sheets, and a demonstration kit. Tools used for data collection included personal information questionnaires and a home visit practice questionnaire for persons with hypertension for the VHVs. The content validity (CVI) was 1.0, and reliability was 0.81. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the personal data, and chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test, paired t-test, and independent t-test were used to analyze mean scores between the two groups. The results indicated that the group receiving the program had a higher mean score (x ̅ = 62.15, SD = 2.36) after receiving the program than before receiving it (x ̅ = 46.96, SD = 10.83). It was also found that the group receiving the program had a higher mean score for performing home visiting than those who received normal service (x ̅ = 48.35, SD = 6.00) with statistical significance (p < 0.001). The results show that this program can be used to promote home visiting practices for persons with hypertension among village health volunteers.
