self-management and social support program before and after the intervention and to compare diet behavior after the intervention
and in the control group. This program was created based on two concepts including: Self-management (goal setting, information
collecting, information processing and evaluation analysis, decision marking, action and self-reaction) and social support. The quasi-
experimental study design was presented in this study. The purposive sampling was used to select the sample size which was totally
44 subjects. The intervention group received self-management and social support program and usual care while the control group
received only the usual care. Diet behavior was evaluated by Thai version of Heart Healthy Eating questionnaire and two times: First
time when the program started and the second time when the programwas completed (six weeks later). Descriptive analysis composed
of percentages, mean and standard deviation. Inferential analysis t-test was used to analyze data. The result of the study revealed that
the patients with CVD who participated in the self-management and social support program had a significant difference in mean
scores for diet behavior (p<0.05), 2). The patients with CVD who participate the self-management and social support program in
mean scores for diet behavior was significantly different more than that of the control group (p<0.05).
