Effectiveness of selected interventional package on bio physiological parameters in reduction of modifiable risks of cardiovascular diseases among adults at selected urban communities

Abstract

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a common condition which affecting the heart or
blood vessels. CVD is globally contemplated as the leading cause of death with 80% of CVD
related deaths being reported from low- and middle-income countries like India, but it can often
largely be prevented with a healthy lifestyle. Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of
selected interventional package on bio physiological parameters in reduction of modifiable risks
of cardiovascular diseases among adults in experimental and control group. Methodology: True
experimental – pre and post test only design was adopted and simple random sampling technique
for select the sample size. The sample size was selected by structured interview questionnaire
method which were 152 in the experimental group and 152 in the control group. After attrition
the sample size was 150 in the experimental group and 150 in the control group. Results and
Discussion: Study have shown that regarding the comparison in the experimental and control
group, the Extended McNemar’s test revealed that there was no statistically significant difference
in the mean of bio physiological parameters of CVDs risk with in experimental and control group

in the pre test and also in post test very high level statistical significance was found p<0.001 at
SBP ((ꭓ 2 =29.14), FBS ((ꭓ 2 =14.73), PPBS ((ꭓ 2 =22.12) and LDL((ꭓ 2 =20.00) level proving the
effectiveness of selected intervention package. The Chi square value was SBP ((ꭓ 2 =19.33), DBP (ꭓ 2
=9.78), FBS (ꭓ 2 =9.03), PPBS (ꭓ 2 =7.85) and HDL (ꭓ 2 =3.99) which showed p<0.01 moderately
statistical significance between in the experimental and control group in the post test but there is
no significant pre test. This shows that there was a statistical significance in the bio physiological
parameters reduction score among adults in the experimental group. Statistically there is a
significant difference between experimental and control group. It was calculated using chi-square
test. Conclusion: People living in urban community with cardiac risks can be prevented from
many diseases and complications because of this selected interventional package.
