Abstract
The research project attempts to assess the level of knowledge regarding risk factor of Cholelithiasis among the patients coming to AIIMS Patna. The objectives of the research project were to assess the level of knowledge regarding risk factors of cholelithiasis among adults, and association between knowledge of risk factor of cholelithiasis in selected demographic variables. The conceptual framework of the study was developed on the basis of Roy’s Adaptation Model. Quantitative approach was used for the research project. The study was carried out in AIIMS Patna. The research project comprised of 100 samples. Pilot study was conducted in 10 samples and the tool was found to be not feasible because samples were unable to answer the questions, therefore questions were modified and the research project was started. The reliability coefficient for the structured questionnaire was calculated by split-half technique and it was found r=0.73. Data was collected by administering a questionnaire. Data were analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. The result of the research project showed that most of the samples (69%) have an average knowledge and 26% samples have good knowledge and 5% of samples had poor knowledge. The findings of the research project support the need for health education regarding risk factor of cholelithiasis so that there will be an improvement in their daily living practices and prevention of disease.
