| description | Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of death in Malaysia. Major risk factors
of CVD were modifiable. Therefore, CVD is a preventable disease through lifestyle
modification. The current study was conducted to determine the knowledge on CVD risk
factor, attitude towards CVD risk reduction and practice in preventing occurrence of CVD
of final year nursing students in Universiti Sains Malaysia. This is a cross-sectional study
using simple random sampling. Final year nursing students were selected in this present
study. The respondents were randomly selected using randomizer. The sample size was
85. Knowledge, attitude and practice questionnaire was adopted from the previous study
done in Kuantan. The mean and standard deviation of the knowledge, attitude and practice
scores were (x: 13.41, SD: 1.458), (x: 55.06, SD: 4.241), (x: 23.6471, SD: 4.1539)
respectively. No significant differences were found between attitude towards CVD risk
reduction and practice in preventing occurrence of CVD (p=1.000). From the findings,
USM nursing students should engage more in exercise and developing healthy lifestyle. |
