This study attempted to quantify knowledge, attitude and practice to wards preventive measures regarding coronary artery disease among patients attaining cardiac out-patients. Methods:-an institution based cross sectional study was conducted in Tikur Anbessa SpecializedHospital between March and- April 2022. A total of 402 patients were selected through Simple Random Sampling method.Interviewer guided standardized Questioners was used to gather the information from participants. Descriptive statistics was utilized to describe participant’s characteristics and logistics regression analysis was employed to examine the relationship between independent and outcome variables. Level ofsignificance was determined at p<0.05 and 95% CI. Result:-A total of 402 participants were included in the study with response rate of 79.6%.The mean age was 46.74±14.15SD.Mean score of knowledge was 58.±15.96 SD. Most (67.2%) of the respondents demonstrated good knowledge. Mean of attitude score was 60.4 ±25.33SD.More than half of the respondents (54.4%) had good attitude. The mean practice score of the study participants were 55.13±17.365 and equal number of respondents had both good and poor practice. Upon logistic regression, variables namely; sex (AOR) of 0.540 95%CI=0.332-0.879),and presence ocomorbidity(AOR=2.818, 95%CI=1.029-7.713), had significance association with knowledge. Similarly occupation (AOR=0.66, 95%CI=0.330-0.968) and marital status (AOR=0.545, 95%CI=0.333-0.893) were significantly associated with attitude towards CAD andsex (AOR=0.506, 95%CI=0.313-0.819),of the respondents had significant association with practice of the respondents | |
