Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the highest cause of mortality in India and the majority of the cases are due to risk factor that includes hypertension smoking diabetes mellitus. Sedentary lifestyle and desk job employees are more prone to such diseases. Therefore, present study aimed to assess the risk factors of cardiovascular diseases among bank employees.Methods: Quantitative exploratory research design was used to conduct the study. A sample of 98 bank employees was selected for the study using non probability convenient sampling technique from different branches of SBI Indore.Results: Risk score for cardio vascular disease among bank employees expressed in percentage calculated through the structured interview scheduled and Joint British Societies for the prevention of cardiovascular disease (JBS3) risk calculator. 83% participants were at <10% risk (low), 17% participants were at 10-19.9% (mild) risk, 0 participants were at 20-29.9% (moderate) risk and 0 participants were at ≥30% (high) risk. There was significant association between the risk score and selected socio demographic variable among bank employees.Conclusions: Study concluded that there was a mild to moderate risk of cardiovascular disease among bank employees. Hence, proper awareness regarding various risk factors of cardio vascular diseases can help in reducing such risk among bank employees and personnel with similar working pattern.MethodQuantitative exploratory research design was used to conduct the study.

Background: As primigravida women are less aware or unaware about the pregnancy related problems and its ill effects on health of mother and growth of fetus during pregnancy. Therefore, present study aims to assess effectiveness of information pamphlet of knowledge of primigravida women regarding pregnancy related problems. Method: Quantitative pre-experimental research design was used to conduct the study. A sample of 50 primigravida women was selected for the study by purposive sampling technique. Results: The mean pre-test knowledge score was 9.14 and mean post-test knowledge score was 17.34. 39 (78%) participants had adequate knowledge level (>75%) and 11(22%) participants had moderate knowledge level (51% to 75%) in post-test. Paired t test knowledge score is 17.697 which is more than the table value 2.00 at due 49, which is significant at 0.05% level. This indicates that the informational pamphlet is effective in increasing the knowledge of primigravida women regarding pregnancy-related problems. The findings revealed that there was significant association between knowledge score with selected demographic variables of the primigravida women e.g. education, occupation, monthly income and previous knowledge. Conclusion: Study concluded that knowledge regarding pregnancy related problems must be given more weightage for overall growth of the foetus and to reduce pregnancy related complications.
