Aims: The most important causes for mortality rate and poor quality of life in
cardiovascular patients arise from insufficient and inappropriate self-care. This
study aimed to examine the effect of an educational self-care program on
awareness and performance in patients with Coronary syndrome.
Materials & Methods: This is an experimental study conducted in hospitals
affiliated with Qom University of medical science. 70 Patients were randomly
assigned to experiment (n=35) and control (n=35) groups. Awareness and
performance data were collected through interviewed questionnaire and
observation. Then the patients in experiment group received 2 educational
sessions each lasting 20 minutes during the hospital stay, and also were given
an educational booklet review, while control patients received routine care.
Data on all patients’ awareness and performance was again collected one
month later. The awareness and performance of two groups were compared
using Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney U tests.
Findings: The difference between two groups in awareness area was -5.39
(p<0.001) and in performance area was -19.49 after intervention (p<0.001).
The mean of changes of total awareness score of self-care was 0.57±1.14 in
control group (p<0.004) and 8.40±9.39 in experimental group (p<0.001). The
mean of self-care performance scores has been increased about 32.13±6.32 in
experiment group (p<0.001) and the improving self-care performance of
control group was 0.98±1.11 (p<0.001;).
Conclusion: The application of an educational self-care program raises the
awareness and improves the performance of the patients with coronary
syndrome. |
