“…The educational program was standardized and appropriate to the individual in terms of gender, age, Jordanian culture, and socioeconomic factors. The previous factors have an important impact on the ability of individuals to learn (Fletcher, 1987). In addition, the using of open discussion during the application of the cardiac educational program and giving written information may have contributed to the success of the intervention.…”

The purpose of this study was to test the effect of cardiac educational program on the level of knowledge and adherence to healthy lifestyle among patients with coronary artery disease in the north of Jordan. Pretest-posttest design was used. Eighty-four patients completed the posttest questionnaire. Knowledge and adherence to healthy lifestyle were measured at baseline and at 1 month after the application of the program. Paired t-test was used to analyze the data. The results showed that the change in the mean knowledge scores (10.50), p < .01 was statistically significant 1 month after the application of the program. In addition, the change in the mean adherence to healthy lifestyle scores (33.30), p < .01 was statistically significant 1 month after the application of the cardiac educational program. Implementing cardiac educational programs help enhance knowledge and adherence to healthy lifestyle among patients with coronary artery disease in north of Jordan.

“…Patient education effectively decreases emotional distress (176), increases knowledge (177), and changes behavior178 following AMI. Patients want information about risk factors (178) and self-management techniques (eg, how to treat ischemic-type chest discomfort) rather than information about disease pathophysiology (eg, causes of ischemic-type chest discomfort) (179).…”

ACC/AHA Guidelines for the Management of Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction:Executive Summary

It is the aim of these revised guidelines to reflect what the committee has identified as the most important changes to be made in thinking about patients with AMI. Many therapies and procedures in current use are not based on sound scientific evidence. The committee proposes the abandonment of such therapies and procedures that can be identified with confidence. On the other hand, new information suggests that a practical division of all patients with AMI is to classify them as those with ST-segment elevation and those without it. Evidence now shows a distinction in pathoanatomy between the two that demands different therapeutic approaches. Ample evidence exists that persons with suspected MI and ST-segment elevation or bundlebranch block (BBB) should undergo immediate reperfusion, and those without these findings should not. Committee members were selected from cardiovascular specialists with broad geographical representation and combined involvement in academic medicine and primary practice. The Committee on Management of Acute Myocardial Infarction was also broadened by members of the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American College of Emergency Physicians, the AHA Council on Cardiovascular Nursing, and the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses.

“…Early research within the cardiac rehabilitation field consisted of quasi‐experimental work that examined the effectiveness of individual programs (Barbarowicz et al , 1980; Milazzo, 1980; Mills et al , 1985; Fletcher, 1987; Raleigh and Odtohan, 1987; Sivarajan et al , 1987; Steele and Ruzicki, 1987). Researchers also became concerned with understanding what it is that patients needed to know following acute cardiac events or surgery.…”

A review of the information needs of patients with acute coronary syndromes

Nursing in Critical Care

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The individual nature of information required by hospitalized patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) has been of concern to nurses for over 20 years. An information need is not necessarily a gap in knowledge that can be satisfied by education. It represents what the patient wants to know from the professional in order to cope effectively with the current situation. Through analysis of available literature, it seems that patients appear to prioritize information that is pertinent to survival, such as symptom management, rather than broader lifestyle issues such as exercise and diet. Although information needs are individual and subjective to each patient, trends emerge within patient groups. Information needs of patients with CHD in coronary care unit and ward setting occur across eight or more common areas. Through patient-centred communication, patients' f preferences for information in these topics can be derived and used as the basis for information delivery. Individual idiosyncratic needs can also be noted and addressed.
