Abstract
Background and Objectives: Cardiovascular diseases account for a large proportion of all deaths and disability worldwide. Reductions in major risk factors probably accounted for approximately half the decrease in deaths from coronary heart disease. The overall objective of this study was to find out the effectiveness of an educational intervention regarding the knowledge on prevention of coronary artery diseases. Method and Materials: One group pre-test, post test design was used. Data was collected by using semi structure self administered questionnaire. Proportionate stratified random sampling technique was used to select the desire samples (136). A pretested semi structured questionnaire was used to collect data before and after the intervention. Data was analyzed by using SPSS and various tests such as paired t-test and one way ANOVA. Results: Out of 136 respondents, 40.4% were 21years of age, 56.5% were male, and 41.9% were from Education group. Before educational intervention, the total mean knowledge score on prevention of coronary artery disease was 43.47% whereas after educational intervention was 91.61%. Before educational intervention the highest mean knowledge score was 56.25% on quieting cigarette smoking whereas after educational intervention was95.75% on maintaining healthy weight. Before educational intervention the lowest mean knowledge score was 32% on non preventable risk factors whereas after educational intervention was 82% on control of high blood pressure.There was statistically significant difference between before and after educational intervention (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Educational intervention was effective as it seems to be a powerful tool in raising the knowledge so such kinds of intervention programme must be conducted on a regular basis in different campuses.
