Abstract

Cardiovascular outreach programs and risk factors profiling have been regarded as key strategy in preventing and controlling cardiovascular diseases as the leading global causes of death worldwide, especially when being conducted by a professional. This pilot study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a cardiovascular outreach program in Plaosan District, Magetan Regency, to improve knowledge and influence changes in the community’s behavior related to cardiovascular risk factors. This study was conducted by providing educational interventions and profiling cardiovascular risk factors on 90 adults using consecutive sampling method. Health education was performed by experts and evaluated by pre-post tests before and after the material delivery. Statistical analysis was used to assess the relationship of risk factors that can contribute to cardiovascular disease. This study showed a significant increase in the participants' knowledge score after the intervention (p = 0.007). There were several risk factors for cardiovascular disease in the participants, with the highest risk prevalence being diabetes mellitus (33.33%). Six participants (6.67%) had abnormal electrocardiography results. In conclusion, our study showed a high prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in rural communities and the importance of cardiovascular outreach programs by experts to improve the understanding of cardiovascular disease in a specific community.

Abstract

Introduction Student-centered learning (SCL) is based on students' needs, capacities, and other characteristics, making the method more personalized. This study aimed to analyze new questionnaires to categorize 4th-semester medical faculty students based on their characteristics. Understanding these characteristics could make the teaching and learning process more effective, potentially reducing the number of students retaking exams. Material and Methods: Subjects were 4th semester students who agreed to enroll and self-fulfilled the questionnaire. High achievers are defined as high expectations and consistent high performance (GPAs). Validity and reliability of each item were analyzed by statistical calculations accordingly. GPA in the next semester was used as threshold to confirm the participant's categorization. Results: The study commenced in March 2022, with 107 participants with Grade Point Averages (GPAs) available. The study demonstrated that the questionnaires had high validity and reliability (p-value < 0.005; Pearson Correlation Coefficient and Cronbach alpha). Among the participants, 3 (2.8%) were classified as high achievers, while 3 (28%) were categorized as low achievers. Notably, 44.86% of participants reported their passions as unrelated to medicine, while 5.61% were uncertain of their passions. Regarding vocation, 8.2% cited parental influence, and 10.3% felt their educational progress was not within their control. Conclusion: The questionnaires had high validity and reliability in item analysis. There were 2,8% of participants predicted as High Achievers and Low Achievers. Refinements of items and score presentation are needed. Follow-up activities should be given to the low achievers to prevent becoming retakers.
