| Popis: | The blood flow to the heart is impacted by ischemic heart disease, sometimes referred to as coronary artery disease. As a result of the buildup of plaque formation, the walls of blood arteries become constricted or clogged. The heart's musculature needs oxygen and nourishment to operate properly, which is decreased as a result. This might eventually lead to the abrupt deprivation of blood flow to a section of the heart, which would kill that section’s heart attack via damaging cardiac tissue. Any cardiac abnormality instantly impacts the flow of oxygen to the brain, kidneys, and other essential organs since the heart are the pump that delivers oxygenated blood to the other vital organs. The tissue inside these organs is impacted as a result to die, which ultimately causes failure or death. The top factor of death in several nations throughout the world is ischemic heart disease. The aim and objective of the study is the usefulness of a booklet providing advice on lifestyle changes for people with coronary artery disease. This study's conceptual model is based on "Imogene King's goal achievement theory". This study aimed to gauge people's understanding of lifestyle changes for cardiac patients. The quantitative research technique was used in this investigation. Pre- and post-testing in one group and preliminary research design were used. Techniques of non-probability random sampling were employed to choose the samples. The sample size was 60 in total. We employed both descriptive and inferential statistics in the data examination. After administering the information packet, the study's findings revealed a considerable increase in knowledge and practice during the post-test. The information booklet was a useful tool that raised patients' knowledge and practices to the desired level. |
