ABSTRACT:
Background: Angina pectoris, a clinical manifestation of coronary artery disease (CAD), is a major contributor to global morbidity and mortality. In India, the prevalence is rising in both rural and urban populations due to sedentary lifestyles, tobacco use, unhealthy diet, and stress. In rural areas such as Raipur (Chhattisgarh), limited awareness and poor health literacy further increase the disease burden. Lifestyle modification is essential for prevention and management; however, lack of structured education limits its adoption. Objective: To assess the effectiveness of an information booklet on knowledge regarding lifestyle modification of angina pectoris among adults in a selected rural area of Raipur (C.G.). Methods: A quasi-experimental non-randomize control group pre-test post-test design was adopted. A total of 60 adults (30 experimental and 30 control) were selected using non-probability convenience sampling. A self-structured questionnaire was used to assess knowledge. The experimental group received an information booklet on lifestyle modification, while the control group received no intervention. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The experimental group showed a significant improvement in mean knowledge scores from 12.3±5.14 to 22.16±4.72 (t = 14.25, p< 0.001), whereas the control group showed no significant change. A significant difference was observed between the groups in post-test scores (t = 8.83, p<0.001). Significant associations were found between post-test knowledge scores and selected socio-demographic variables. Conclusion: The information booklet was found to be a simple, cost-effective, and effective intervention to improve knowledge regarding lifestyle modification of angina pectoris among rural adults. It can be integrated into community health programs to promote preventive practices and improve health outcomes.
