The Effect of Women's Heart Health Awareness Program
Sponsor: Lokman Hekim University
Summary
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.

Interventions
Heart Health Awareness Program
Intervention group participants will receive a 3-week program focused on cardiovascular diseases prevention, consisting of 45-minute weekly sessions. The first two sessions are educational sessions involving visual presentations, Q\&A, and discussions, with informative brochures provided. To reinforce learning, six reminder video messages will be sent via WhatsApp every two days post-educational sessions. The final session includes a CVD risk screening (height, weight, BMI, waist circumference, blood pressure, and blood glucose) followed by brief individual counseling. Interventions will be conducted simultaneously across all sites by specially trained nurses. Pre-test measurements will be taken before the intervention, and post-tests will be administered upon completion of the final session.
