Screening and Interventions for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention in the Limpopo Province, South Africa: Use of the Community Action Model
The rise in non-communicable diseases (NCDs) has been attributed to economic growth in developing countries, shifts in societal norms, and behaviors such as dietary habits and physical activity. Up to 80% of NCDs could be prevented by eliminating shared risk factors, mainly tobacco use, unhealthy di...

description | The rise in non-communicable diseases (NCDs) has been attributed to economic growth in developing countries, shifts in societal norms, and behaviors such as dietary habits and physical activity. Up to 80% of NCDs could be prevented by eliminating shared risk factors, mainly tobacco use, unhealthy diets, physical inactivity, and the harmful use of alcohol. The South African government’s national strategic plan to control NCDs, which includes cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention, places a strong emphasis on the need to improve the prevention, detection, early intervention, and management of NCDs. In line with the above recommendations, this study aimed to screen rural communities using the non-laboratory INTERHEART Risk Score tool (NLIRS) and develop relevant and suitable intervention strategies for a patient at moderate risk of developing a heart attack. A quantitative research approach applying a household-based design was used to conduct this study and the community action model (CAM). The difference between pre-intervention and post-intervention results were analyzed using a t-test and Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with age, smoke, hypertension, and diabetes as the covariates. The study found a significant difference in proportions between pre and post-intervention for raised Systole (SBP), obesity by body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference (WC). In rural communities, using CAM to improve knowledge and behavioral practices of NCD risk factors is feasible and effective. This basket of interventions will assist community members in reducing their risk of developing metabolic syndromes as well as their risk of developing CVDs. Continued investment and research in CVD prevention interventions are required to improve health, reduce costs, and have long-term benefits for conflict-affected individuals and communities. |
