| description | Introduction: Ischaemic Heart Disease (IHD) is the most
common type of heart diseases and also the major cause of
death or disability. This disease affects the Quality Of Life (QOL)
of the patients.
Aim: To investigate the effect of a Health-related Lifestyle selfManagement (HELM) program on QOL of the patients with
IHD.
Materials and Methods: The present quasi-experimental study
was conducted on 92 patients using convenience sampling
method. Data collection was performed using the demographic
and the MacNew QOL questionnaires. All the participants
completed the questionnaires in two sessions (at the onset of
the study and after eight weeks). In the case group, a lifestyle
self-management program was executed along with the daily
records; while the regular trainings were performed in the
control group. Analysis of the obtained data was performed
using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version
16.0, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Chi-square test, Fisher’s test,
Independent t-test, paired t-test, and descriptive tests.
Results: There was no significant difference between the two
groups in terms of the demographic variables including age,
gender, education, occupation, and marital status. Based on
the results, before the intervention, the two groups had no
significant difference in terms of the mean scores of the QOL
(p>0.05); while, comparing the groups after the intervention
indicated significant differences in the scores of QOL as
well as in three fields emotional, physical, and social fields
(p<0.05). In addition, the mean score of the QOL of the control
group showed no significant difference before and after the
intervention (p>0.05), but difference of the same score in the
test group before and after the intervention was statistically
significant (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Findings of the present study showed that the
HELM program affected the QOL of the patients with heart
diseases, and thus such an interventional approach would help
improving the QOL of the patients. |
