Brief Summary

**Introduction and need** : Valvular heart disease isa cardiovascular disease process involving one or more of the four valves of the heart .Theseconditions occur largely as a consequence of aging, but may  alsobe the result of congenital (inborn)abnormalities or specific disease or physiologic processes including rheumaticheart disease and pregnancy.

Valvular heart disease (VHD) is a major contributorto loss of physical function,quality of life and longevity. The epidemiology of VHD varies substantially around the world, with a predominanceof functional and degenerative disease in high-incomecountries, and a predominance of rheumatic heart disease in low-income and middle-income countries.Valvular heartdisease (VHD) is prevalent in developed and developing countries with etiologyof degenerative and, surgeries. Rheumatic heart disease burden is highest amongthe world’s disadvantaged populations. Its prevalence has been rising steadilysince 1990, reaching 40.5 million (95% UI, 32.1-50.1 million) currentlyaffected in 2019

Patient education is aplanned interactive learning process designed to support and enable patients tomanage their life with a disease and/or optimise their health andwell-being.With proper education, patients mightincrease adherence to treatment,lifestyle changes and be able to detect early changes in their clinical condition. Educational and interventionalprogrammes are considered to be vitalstrategies that can contribute to better health outcomes in patients with cardiac diseases. Propereducation helps in decreasing theincidence of complications resulting from the disease and its therapeutic management.

As educational and interventional programme is necessary to reduce anxiety, helps the patients tounderstand their own disease condition and make patient independent forself-care activities. But presently, in cardiologyunits of Advance Cardiac Centre, PGIMER Chandigarh, there is no assuch programme exist. Therefore there is aneed of “self care package†for valvular heart surgery patients. The goal of this “self care package†is to increasepatient’s interest and involvement in selfcare by conveying knowledge and preparing them to manage their own condition.

Objectives :-q  Todevelop and implement “self care package†for valvular heart surgery patientsadmitted for surgery in AdvancedCardiac Centre ,PGIMER, Chandigarh.

q  Toassess the effectiveness of “self carepackage†on selected outcome variables among valvular heart surgery patientsadmitted in Advanced Cardiac Centre,PGIMER, Chandigarh.

Self care package for valvular  heart surgery patients: The protocol will be prepared in the form of booklet containing all information regarding self care like  treatment adherence, surgical site care, life style modification but demonstration for components like  hand washing, deep breathing exercises ,steam inhalation.
