          This was a quasi-experimental research, one group pretest-posttest control design. The objectives were to study the effect of health promoting activities on the self-care behavior among patients with hypertension and to study the effect of SKT healing meditation on the level of blood pressure. Twenty-four patients visited in primary care cluster of Rom Klao Mueang community health center, Mueang district, Sakon Nakhon province were enrolled. The promoting activities were carried out for 8 weeks, from September to November 2018. The instrument for data collection was the questionnaire about the perception in risk of complications, dangers of complications and awareness of self-care, and self-care behavior with the content validity of 0.76 and reliability of 0.847. The instrument for experiment was the practicing diary for SKT healing meditation. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and comparative statistics, paired-sample t-test.

          The results showed that after the sample patients had participated in health promoting activities, the average score of perception in risk of complications, dangers of complications, and awareness of self-care was significantly increased (p = 0.002). Generally, their self-care behaviors were improved after learning activity participation. The highest average score of self-care behavior was SKT healing meditation. The systolic blood pressure was significantly decreased after this practice (p = 0.001). This study suggested that the health promoting activities should be implemented in hypertension clinic and further applied to other chronic disease clinics.
