A true experimental, posttest research design was adopted. A sample of 60 post M I patients were selected by using non-probability convenient sampling technique, 30 in each experimental and control group.
Result: The mean knowledge level score and standard deviation of the experimental group was 21.86 (SD=2.20) higher than mean (10.57) and standard deviation (SD=3.49) of the control group and „t? value 14.72.Two mean „t? for independent samples showed a significant difference in the post test knowledge score on stylistic changesamong experimental and control group at 0.05 level. This finding indicated that the individualized education was highly effective.
Conclusion: Individualized education on the stylistic changeswas highly effective, eminent and cost-effective intervention for improving the knowledge and creating awareness among post myocardial infarction patients about the stylistic changesand helped them to adopt a healthy lifestyle post myocardial infarction.
