Increasing awareness of any disease, especially heart disease, is crucial to improve health culture in general. The lack of communication between the different departments of social and health institutions may hinder such increasing awareness due to the lack of enough research that highlights this problem. As health culture education related to heart diseases raises young people's awareness, it improves their lives by developing their knowledge and changing their attitudes, habits, and behaviours towards the risk factors related to such diseases. Therefore, this research aimed to determine the level of health culture related to heart disease among students at Al-Balqa Applied University. The descriptive approach was used in its analytical and survey styles to achieve the research objective, and the research sample consisted of 221 male and female students. The results showed that the total score for the level of health culture related to heart disease among the students was average. In light of the results, the researcher presented several recommendations. The most important are holding health education and awareness seminars and workshops for university students in the field of heart disease and its prevention and activating the role of Al-Balqa Applied University in the continuous guidance and counselling of students in all disciplines and levels to increase the health culture of heart disease.
提高对任何疾病,尤其是心脏病的认识,对于总体改善健康文化至关重要。社会和卫生机构不同部门之间缺乏沟通,可能会因缺乏足够突出这一问题的研究而阻碍这种认识的提高。由于与心脏病相关的健康文化教育能提高年轻人的认识,通过增加他们的知识以及改变他们对与这类疾病相关的风险因素的态度、习惯和行为,从而改善他们的生活。因此,本研究旨在确定拜勒盖应用大学学生中与心脏病相关的健康文化水平。采用描述性方法的分析和调查方式来实现研究目标,研究样本包括221名男女学生。结果显示,学生中与心脏病相关的健康文化水平总分处于中等。根据研究结果,研究者提出了若干建议。其中最重要的是针对大学生举办关于心脏病及其预防领域的健康教育和提高认识的研讨会及工作坊,以及发挥拜勒盖应用大学在持续指导和咨询各学科及各年级学生方面的作用,以提高心脏病方面的健康文化。
