Abstract
Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in India. Lack of awareness regarding CAD risk factors contributes significantly to the increasing burden of disease.
Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of an instructional module on CAD risk factors in improving knowledge and perception among adults residing in selected villages of Chhattisgarh.
Methods: A quasi-experimental pre-test post-test control group design was used. A total of 60 adults were selected using convenience sampling and allocated into experimental (n = 30) and control groups (n = 30). A structured self-administered questionnaire and a 3-point Likert perception scale were used. The experimental group received an instructional module on CAD risk factors, whereas the control group received no intervention. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results: The experimental group showed a significant improvement in knowledge scores from a pre-test mean of 6.63 to a post-test mean of 17.1. The control group demonstrated negligible change (pre-test mean = 8.13; post-test mean = 8.26). Perception scores also improved considerably in the experimental group. Independent t-test results showed statistically significant differences between experimental and control groups (p < 0.001). Positive correlation between knowledge and perception was observed in the experimental group (r = 0.6).
Conclusion: The instructional module was highly effective in enhancing knowledge and perception regarding CAD risk factors among adults. Community-based educational interventions can play a vital role in reducing CAD burden.
