Eventually, the data was analyzed by SPSS 16 software with 0.05 significance level.
Results: The mean of the subjects’ age was 60.6 years. The mean and standard deviation of nutritional awareness in menopausal women was 11.11±2/06 scores. Furthermore, the mean and standard deviation of Health Belief Model factors’ including perceived susceptibility 17/93±2/75, perceived severity 17/2±2/93, perceived benefits 17/46±1/87, perceived barriers 15/82±1/62 and self- efficacy 24/44±5/18 were determined. There were significant differences between the mean of perceived severity and perceived self- efficacy in two groups recommended diet subordinate and recommended diet non-subordinate (P<0/05).
Conclusion: Eventually, the current study showed that menopausal women with hypertension had an almost desirable nutritional knowledge, a moderate perceived susceptibility status, a moderate to low perceived severity status, a moderate perceived benefits status, and an undesirable perceived barriers status. Thus, educational interventions based on theories and models especially Health Belief Model are recommended for this group.
