Abstract

The abstract is a brief summary of the study, usually no more than 250 words. It should include the purpose of the study, the methodology used, the key findings, and the implications of the results. In this case, the abstract might read something like this:

This study aimed to investigate the factors that influence cardiac self-efficacy among Nepalese patients diagnosed with coronary artery disease (CAD) in tertiary hospitals. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 150 CAD patients who were recruited from two tertiary hospitals in Nepal. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire that included measures of self-efficacy, social support, disease knowledge, and demographic variables. Results showed that self-efficacy was positively associated with social support and disease knowledge, and negatively associated with age and comorbidities. These findings suggest that interventions to improve cardiac self-efficacy among Nepalese CAD patients should focus on enhancing social support and disease knowledge, especially among older patients with comorbidities.
