Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
This is a prospective interventional cohort study conducted over seven years (2025-2031) in two rural villages of Pokhara, Gandaki Province: Belchautara (experimental) and Rupakot (control). A total of 400 residents aged 19 years and older will be screened and enrolled (200 per village). Participants will be recruited through local nursing colleges and health centers.
Year 1 involves mixed methods research (descriptive-correlational and qualitative) to identify community health needs.
Years 2-7 will employ a quasi-experimental design with annual interventions and follow-up evaluations.
Interventions
1. Health Education Program:
Frequency: 12 weekly sessions (1 hour each), repeated three times per year. Content: hygiene, nutrition, stress management, lifestyle modification. Measures: health literacy, blood pressure, glucose, cholesterol, anthropometry, quality of life, and PHQ-9.
2. Exercise Program:
Frequency: 8 weekly sessions (1 hour each), repeated three times per year. Activities: muscle stretching, sit-ups, push-ups, sit-to-stand, and grip strength training.
Measures: Sit and Reach Test, push-up and sit-up counts, grip strength.
3. Auricular Acupressure:
Indications: back pain, dysmenorrhea, or perimenopausal symptoms. Frequency: once per week for 2 weeks. Measures: Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), Oswestry Disability Index, Menstrual Distress Questionnaire, and Perimenopause Symptom Scale.
Exclusion: pregnancy, metal allergy, or ear disease.
Data will be collected at baseline and post-intervention through structured questionnaires and physical measurements.
