Background: Hypertension is not the only significant risk factor for the development and progression of Coronary artery disease (CAD). By being aware of the risk factors associated with CAD and consistently adhering to preventive measures, it is possible to mitigate these risks effectively.
Objective: To assess the effectiveness of video assisted teaching programme on knowledge regarding risk factors of coronary artery disease (CAD) among hypertensive patients at a selected hospital in Bangalore.
Methods: This evaluative research study included 60 hypertensive patients admitted at a selected hospital in Bengaluru. Demographic details of all the patients were collected. A structured knowledge questionnaire was used for collecting baseline data from the hypertensive patients on their knowledge and practice regarding risk factors of CAD. An intervention through a video-assisted teaching programme regarding risk factors of coronary artery disease was administered to all the patients. Pre-and post-knowledge data were compared using various descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results: The majority of hypertensive patients were 35 to 45 years old (50%) and were admitted to special ward (48.3%). Regarding prior information about CAD, 83.3% reported to have prior information, out of which 41.7% of patients reported to have received the information from others. 46.7% of patients had hypertension for < 1 year. The level of knowledge increased from inadequate to adequate up to 93.3% post-intervention. The average level of practice increased from 26.7% to 91.7% post-intervention.
Conclusion: The result revealed that the video-assisted teaching programme was effective and appropriate in improving knowledge regarding the risk factors of CAD among hypertensive patients.
