RACT A study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on intermittent fasting in reducing triglycerides level among patients with coronary artery disease at Thirubhuvanai, Puducherry. One group pre-test and post- test design, with an quantitative approach was used for the study. 30 coronary artery disease patients were selected by convenient sampling technique. Structured knowledge questionnaire was used for data collection. The data on sample characteristics reveals that out of 30 coronary artery disease patients. Majority of the patients (30%) of study population were in the age group are 45-55 years. Majority of the patients were male (60%). Majority of the patients were Hindu (70%). Majority of the patients were Primary school (43.3%). Majority of the patients were Sedentary Worker (33.3%).

Majority of the patients had not Previous Source of Information, 26(86.7%).Majority of the patients had both acute and chronic illness, (50%). In pretest, Majority of patients (83.3%) had inadequate and (16.7%) had moderate level of knowledge and the mean and standard deviation of the level of knowledge on intermittent fasting in reducing triglycerides among coronary artery disease patients is 6.90 ± 3.100. In post- test, Majority of patients (53.3%) had Moderate and (46.7%) had adequate level of knowledge and the mean and standard deviation of the level of knowledge on intermittent fasting in reducing triglycerides among coronary artery disease patients is 18.90 ± 2.771.
