The Level of Health Culture Related to Heart Disease Among Students of the Faculty of Artificial Intelligence at Al-Balqa Applied University

Increasing awareness of any disease, especially heart disease, is crucial to improve health culture in general. The lack of communication between the different departments of social and health institutions may hinder such increasing awareness due to the lack of enough research that highlights this problem. As health culture education related to heart diseases raises young people’s awareness, it improves their lives by developing their knowledge and changing their attitudes, habits, and behaviours towards the risk factors related to such diseases. Therefore, this research aimed to determine the level of health culture related to heart disease among students at Al-Balqa Applied University. The descriptive approach was used in its analytical and survey styles to achieve the research objective, and the research sample consisted of 221 male and female students. The results showed that the total score for the level of health culture related to heart disease among the students was average. In light of the results, the researcher presented several recommendations. The most important are holding health education and awareness seminars and workshops for university students in the field of heart disease and its prevention and activating the role of Al-Balqa Applied University in the continuous guidance and counselling of students in all disciplines and levels to increase the health culture of heart disease.
