2. INTRODUCTION
⢠If you suffer from hemorrhoids, you are in the company of some famous
people. Napoleon Bonaparte was said to have had hemorrhoids, and some
historians have actually debated whether he lost the Battle of Waterloo
because he was unable to sit on his horse during the battle to lead his army.
In 1978 President Jimmy Carter had to leave a party at the White House
because of hemorrhoidal pain. The pain was so severe that he was
incapacitated and could no longer perform his duties. He had surgery soon
afterward, and returned to the Oval Office. George Brett, a third baseman
for the Kansas City Royals, missed part of the World Series in 1980
because of hemorrhoids. Minor surgery was performed, so he could return
quickly to the game the next day. 1
3. According to The Merck Manual definition hemorrhoids is Varicosities of
the veins of the hemorrhoidal plexus, often complicated by inflammation,
thrombosis, and bleeding. But a recent definition of hemorrhoids is
âVascular cushions, consisting of thick submucosa containing both venous
and arterial blood vessels.7

⢠A pilot study is a small scale version done in preparation for a main study.
The pilot study was conducted at arbhavi bus stop. The subjects were
selected by purposive sampling. Formal permission was obtained by the
authority. The consent was taken from the participants after explaining the
purpose of the study. The data was collected from the selected samples by

17. RELIABILITY
⢠Reliability of an instrument is the degree of consistency with which it
measures the attribute it is supposed be measure.
⢠The reliability of the tool was computed by using split half technique by
Spearman Brown prophecy formula. The reliability obtained for knowledge
tool was r =.89 . Hence, the tool was found to be highly reliable.
18. PRESENTATION OF DATA
