BACKGROUND
Heart attack and stroke account for >80% of deaths due to cardio-vascular diseases (CVDs) in India. Adolescents are the most susceptible group to adopt risky behaviors causing CVDs such as use of tobacco and alcohol, sedentary lifestyle, and unhealthy diet. This study was conducted to assess the health literacy of CVDs such as heart attack and stroke among school-going adolescents and change in health literacy after different information, education, and communication (IEC) activities.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
It was a school-based interventional study conducted in two schools among students of classes 6, 7, and 8. The educational interventions were done in the form of pamphlets, posters, and lectures on heart attack and stroke. The postintervention data were collected 2 weeks after the first intervention and 3 months after the last intervention.
RESULTS
There were a higher proportion of students with satisfactory level of knowledge of heart attack and stroke both at 2 weeks and 3 months after the interventions in both the schools, and the results were statistically significant ( < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
The health literacy regarding CVDs has improved when compared to baseline after IEC activities among school-going adolescents.
背景
在印度，心脏病发作和中风占心血管疾病（CVDs）所致死亡的80%以上。青少年是最易养成导致心血管疾病的危险行为的群体，如吸烟、饮酒、久坐不动的生活方式和不健康饮食。本研究旨在评估在校青少年对心脏病发作和中风等心血管疾病的健康素养，以及在开展不同的信息、教育和宣传（IEC）活动后健康素养的变化。
材料与方法
这是一项在两所学校针对六年级、七年级和八年级学生开展的基于学校的干预性研究。教育干预以关于心脏病发作和中风的宣传册、海报和讲座的形式进行。干预后的数据在首次干预后2周和最后一次干预后3个月收集。
结果
两所学校在干预后2周和3个月时，对心脏病发作和中风知识水平满意的学生比例均较高，结果具有统计学意义（<0.05）。
结论
与基线相比，在校青少年在开展IEC活动后，对心血管疾病的健康素养有所提高。
