The Effectiveness of Planned Teaching Program on Knowledge regarding Types of Angina Pectoris and its Prevention among Adults in Selected Cardiac Hospital

This study aims to assess the effectiveness of planned teaching programme on knowledge regarding types of angina pectoris and its prevention among adults in selected cardiac hospital. A Quasi- experimental research design was considered to be most appropriate to fulfill the objectives of the study. Material and Methods: A pre- experimental one group pretest posttest research design was used in the study. Principle: 1) Age group 40-80yrs 2) Adults should be available during time of the study. Result: mean knowledge scores of pretest and posttest which reveals that majority of the adults 34 (56.67 %) had average knowledge and 90 % had average knowledge score respectively. Conclusion: The conclusion of the finding suggests lack of adequate knowledge of cardiac symptoms and high potential for inappropriate responses when symptoms occur.
