Popis: Introduction: In the past ten years, cardiovascular diseases (CVD) have surpassed all other causes of death to become the leading cause of mortality across the globe. Cardiovascular illnesses are one of the most significant threats to global public health. It is a widely held belief that stress can have a role in the development of coronary artery disorders (CAD). Aims: The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of ambulation on patients who were diagnosed with Coronary Artery Syndrome and to determine how it affects the physiological parameters such as heart rate, breathing rate, SPO2, blood pressure, and the level of stress. Materials and Method: Patients in Krishna Hospital, Karad, who were diagnosed with coronary heart diseases were the subjects of the study, and it was designed using a quasi-experimental methodology. By using convenient sampling, a total of 54 samples were distributed, with 27 being given to both the experimental group and the control group. Before any data collection took place, approval had been granted by the Research Ethics Committee of the Krishna Institute of Medical Science Deemed University in Karad. Following the collection of demographic data, individuals diagnosed with CHD from both the experimental and control groups had their vital signs as well as their level of stress evaluated using. Following the pre-test, the experimental group had ambulation, and then they were given the post-test to complete the cycle. Result: The results showed that the mean and standard deviation of stress levels in the control group was 25.22 and 4.309 respectively. The experimental group had a mean and standard deviation of stress equal to 14.22 and 7.511, respectively. The value of the t-test statistic that was computed was 6.6008, which was judged to be statistically significant at the threshold of p less than 0.0001. Conclusion: The outcomes of the study suggest that the Ambulation programme was found to be helpful on the degree of stress among patients with CHD.
