简要总结
The aim of this study is to examine the effect of a gender-specific heart health protection awareness program, incorporating video-supported reminder messages, on knowledge, attitudes, practices (KAP) regarding cardiovascular diseases and health literacy among adult women aged 20 to 64 with no prior diagnosis of cardiovascular disease. The centers where the study is conducted will be divided into intervention (n=4) and control (n=5) groups using cluster randomization. While the intervention group receives a heart health awareness program consisting of three sessions in total, including education, risk factor screening, and individual counseling over a period of three weeks, the control group will receive standard of care. Data will be collected at the beginning of the first session and after the completion of the final session.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in knowledge sub-dimension scores of the Cardiovascular Disease KAP Scale from baseline to post-intervention.
时间窗: Baseline (Week 0) and at the end of the 3-week intervention period
The knowledge sub-dimension of the scale consists of 12 items designed to assess individuals' knowledge levels regarding cardiovascular disease risk factors and symptoms. Each item is scored as 0, 1, or 2, with total sub-dimension scores ranging from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 24.
Change in attitude sub-dimension scores of the Cardiovascular Disease KAP Scale from baseline to post-intervention
时间窗: Baseline (Week 0) and at the end of the 3-week intervention period
The attitude sub-dimension of the scale consists of 10 items designed to assess individuals' attitudes toward cardiovascular diseases. It utilizes a 5-point Likert-type scale, with total scores ranging from a minimum of 10 to a maximum of 50.
Change in physical activity behaviors sub-dimension scores of the Cardiovascular Disease KAP Scale from baseline to post-intervention
时间窗: Baseline (Week 0) and at the end of the 3-week intervention period
The physical activity practices sub-dimension of the scale consists of two items assessing individuals' practices regarding cardiovascular disease risk factors. These items are scored using a 3-point rating scale (0-2).
Change in diet and smoking behavior behaviors sub-dimension scores of the Cardiovascular Disease KAP Scale from baseline to post-intervention
时间窗: Baseline (Week 0) and at the end of the 3-week intervention period
The diet and smoking practices sub-dimension of the scale consists of five items assessing individuals' practices regarding cardiovascular disease risk factors. These items are scored using a 3-point rating scale (0-2).
次要结局
- Change in Health Literacy Scale-Short Form scores from baseline to post-intervention(Baseline (Week 0) and at the end of the 3-week intervention period)
