“…According to the current findings, it can be concluded that understanding harmful heart behavior patterns by drug addicts leads to adopting a comprehensive healthy lifestyle. In agreement with our results, previous studies also showed that appropriate recognition and understanding of harmful behaviors are effective in following a healthy lifestyle (8,9). The results of a new report indicated that awareness of heart disease and its risk factors leads to adopting a healthy lifestyle (9).…”

Objectives: The present study was conducted to examine the relationship between the perceived behavioral risk factors of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and health-promoting lifestyle in men under methadone therapy. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 68 patients who referred to methadone-maintenance treatment (MMT) centers in Kermanshah city were assessed during September 2017. Perceived heart risk factors scale (PHRFS) and health promoting lifestyle profile (HPLP-II) were used for data collection. The data were analyzed using multivariate linear regression analysis. Results: The mean age of the patients was 39.4 ± 13.3 years. The results of correlation and regression analysis showed that there was a significant direct relationship between perceived behavioral risk factors and all subscales of HPLP-II (P < 0.001). The model generally could explain the variance of 14.9% to 35.8% related to healthy lifestyle components. Conclusions: It can be concluded that understanding harmful heart behavior patterns by drug addicts under methadone therapy may lead to adopting a comprehensive healthy lifestyle. Training must be focused on improved knowledge and perception of the drug addicts about behavioral risk factors of CVDs.

“…The majority of risk factors associated with coronary heart disease are controllable, which makes this disease one of the most preventable causes of death in the world. 39 In 2016, Sharma et al 40 succeeded in showing that clinical pharmacist-provided services can result in significantly lower total cholesterol, triglyceride and LDL cholesterol. Also, Taveira et al 41 found that clinical pharmacist interventions can effectively reduce LDL levels and HbA1c%.…”

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide and negatively impacts healthcare costs, productivity and quality of life. Polymorbidity and polypharmacy predispose ACS patients to medication discrepancies between cardiologist‐prescribed medication and drug use by the patient, drug‐related problems (DRPs) and inadequate drug adherence. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of clinical pharmacist–provided services on the outcome of ACS patients. This was a prospective, randomized, controlled study on ACS patients participating in a cardiac rehabilitation programme. Forty ACS patients were randomly assigned to either control group, who received standard medical care, or intervention group, who received standard medical care plus clinical pharmacist–provided services. Services included DRP management, clinical assessment and enforcing the patient education and adherence. For both groups, the following were assessed at baseline and after 3 months: DRPs, adherence (assessed by 8‐item Morisky Adherence Questionnaire), patient's knowledge (assessed by Coronary Artery Disease Questionnaire), 36‐Short Form Health Survey (SF‐36), heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, low‐density lipoprotein (LDL), total cholesterol (TC) and fasting blood glucose (FBG). After 3 months, there was a significant difference between the intervention and control groups in the per cent change of DRPs (median: −100 vs 5.882, P = 0.0001), patient's adherence score (median: 39.13 vs −14.58, P = 0.0001), knowledge score (median: 30.28 vs −5.196, P = 0.0001), SF‐36 scores, heart rate (mean: −10.04 vs 6.791, P = 0.0001), diastolic blood pressure (mean: −17.87 vs 10.45, P = 0.0001), systolic blood pressure (mean: −16.22 vs 4.751, P = 0.0001), LDL (median: −25.73 vs −0.2538, P = 0.0071), TC (median: −14.62 vs 4.123, P = 0.0005) and FBG (median: −11.42 vs 5.422, P = 0.0098). Clinical pharmacists can play an important role as part of a cardiac rehabilitation team through patient education and interventions to minimize DRPs.

“…Subsequently, this study showed a significant relationship between knowledge of heart disease and readiness for lifestyle modification. A review study showed that knowledge of heart disease was directly related to healthy lifestyle behaviors and people with more knowledge had a healthier lifestyle (29). The results of another study showed that, due to increased heart knowledge in the population, the risk of CVDs (10) was reduced and the mechanism of this risk reduction was probably related to the adoption of a healthy lifestyle.…”

Background: Unhealthy lifestyle and lack of readiness to modify are some of the most important factors in the development of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Objectives: To investigate the correlation of heart knowledge, perceived heart risk factors (PHRFs), and risk perception of heart disease with readiness for lifestyle modification in companions of patients with cardiovascular diseases. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 200 companions of patients with CVDs at Imam Ali Hospital in Kermanshah city were selected by convenience sampling. The data were collected using the heart disease knowledge questionnaire (HDKQ), perception of risk of heart disease scale (PRHDS), perceived heart risk factor scale (PHRFS), and readiness for lifestyle modification questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation coefficient and linear regression analyses. Results: The participants had a moderate level of readiness for lifestyle modification, PHRFs, and risk perception; while the level of participants' heart knowledge was weak. Moreover, there was a significant relationship between heart knowledge and readiness for lifestyle modification (P = 0.001); however, there was no significant relationship between the risk perception (P = 0.404) and PHRFs (P = 0.073) with readiness for lifestyle modification. Conclusions: The companions of the patients with CVDs have a moderate level of readiness for lifestyle modification. Considering the existence of a significant relationship between readiness for lifestyle modification and heart knowledge, it can be concluded that a higher level of heart knowledge can play an important role in the increased readiness for lifestyle modification by the family members of the patients with CVDs.
