Abstract

Indians have the highest rates of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) all over the world. It is 2-4 times higher at all ages and 5-10 times higher in those below 40 years of age. The prevalence of CAD in India is 3 to 4 fold higher than in America and Europe. An increasing number of Indians, even among the younger age group are prone to get heart diseases due to their health-damaging lifestyle.

Objectives of the study

To assess the effectiveness of training programme on baseline screening of non communicable disease regarding knowledge and skills among the self help groups (SHG) women.

Methodology

One group Pretest Posttest research design was used for this study. Written permission was obtained from Block development office. 30 samples were selected by non-probability convenient sampling technique. The knowledge was assessed using self-administered questionnaire and skill was assessed using a check list. After pretest, investigator conducted a two days training programme with the help of a training module “MakalalMakalukaga”. Posttest was done after a week. The data was tabulated for analysis.

Results

Finding revealed that in the pretest, 13(43.33%) had moderate level of knowledge and remaining 17(56.67%) had inadequate knowledge regarding baseline screening of Noncommunicable diseases. In the posttest 17(56.67%) had adequate knowledge and 13 (43.33%) had moderate level of knowledge. Regarding skill, in pretest all the participants had inadequate skill regarding baseline screening of non communicable diseases. Likewise in the post-test 29 (96.66%) SHG women had adequate skill and 1(3.33%) had average skill regarding baseline screening of NCD. The mean knowledge score of pre-test was 8.9 with the standard deviation of 3.38. The post-test mean was 14.73 with the standard deviation of 4.13. The calculated paired t value was 9.43, statistically significant at p < 0.001.The mean pre-test score for skill was 0.70 with the S.D of 1.95 and the post-test mean was 18.27 with standard deviation of 1.93. The calculated paired t test value was 35.07, statistically significant at p < 0.001. Knowledge and skill scores were positively correlated (r = 0.576), statistically significant at p<0.01.

Conclusion

The study showed that the exposure to a two days training programme on baseline screening of NCD resulted in an improvement on knowledge and skill among SHG women.
