In this study aim was to investigate the level of health promoting behaviours among urban working females and also to explore the relationship between different dimensions of health promoting behaviours. Descriptive study was planned. By using questionnaires the study was conducted among urban working females from Chandigarh, India. Background questionnaire and health promoting lifestyle profile II (HPLP-II) were used to collect information. A convenient sample comprised of 200 working females. The age ranged from 23-45 years with mean age of 32.01 ± 4.74. For physical activity and health responsibility the maximum subjects had fair level of health promotion i.e. 121 (60.5%), 105 (52.5%), which means sometimes only the activities related these aspects were practiced. Level of efforts for improving interpersonal relationships, spiritualism and stress management was good in most of the subjects in this study i.e. 149 (74.5%), 132 (66%) and 114 (57%) respectively. Mean score for health promoting behaviours was 2.6 out of 4. For physical activity as one dimension of health promoting behaviours the mean score was 2.21 and it was least as compared to other dimensions. Efforts for spiritual growth and relationship building were quite good and the mean score was 2.97 and 2.90 respectively. All the sub-dimensions of health promoting behaviours (namely spiritual growth, interpersonal relations, nutrition, physical activity, health responsibility and stress management) were found to be significantly correlated with each other. Age reflected significant and positive correlation with health responsibility. No significant association was seen in educational level and health promoting efforts (χ2 = 1, p > .05). In this study the subjects were either graduates or postgraduates.Keywords

Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is one of the health care approaches commonly used by patients with various health problems to promote health or to treat diseases or symptoms. The aim of the present study was to assess the use and perceived effectiveness of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapies among cardiac patients. The study was carried out in cardiology OPD, Advanced Cardiac Centre (ACC), PGIMER, Chandigarh. Descriptive research design was adopted. Data were collected from 530 out-patients who met eligibility criteria using semi-structured interview schedule. The results revealed that the mean age of subjects was 56 years. Most of the subjects were from joint family. Maximum subjects belonged to middle socioeconomic class and believed in Hinduism. Most prevalent diagnosis was CAD with MI and most of them underwent PCI. Among co-morbidities diabetes and hypertension (HTN) were the most common present in the study subjects. Half of the subjects were still in pre-hypertensive stage of HTN with present treatment. Self rated health status was fair for most of the subjects (63%). Among total subjects, 225(42.7%) were using CAM. Among them, mostly half of the subjects were continuing their CAM use with conventional medicine. Ayurveda, homeopathy, garlic, low salt diet, aloevera and exercises were the most preferred CAM approaches used by the subjects. Lesser side effect was the most common reason cited by the users for CAM use. Majority of the subjects perceived CAM use to be effective and were ready to use CAM in future also. The findings suggest that essential steps should be adopted for incorporating those CAM therapies into mainstream health care services for which evidence of effectiveness exists.Keywords
