    Summary

    A new questionnaire assessed patient knowledge after myocardial infarction (MI). While patients improved understanding of returning home and to work, further teaching program adjustments are needed for other areas.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Medical Education
    • Health Psychology

    Background:

    • Patients with myocardial infarction (MI) require comprehensive education for effective recovery and secondary prevention.
    • In-hospital teaching programs aim to improve patient understanding of disease management and lifestyle adjustments post-MI.
    • Assessing the effectiveness of these educational interventions is crucial for optimizing patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a methodologic approach using a questionnaire to assess patient knowledge following a myocardial infarction (MI).
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of an in-hospital teaching program for post-MI patients.
    • To identify areas where patient knowledge requires improvement to guide future educational strategies.

    Main Methods:

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Development and application of a questionnaire to assess patient knowledge on disease nature, emergency treatment, diet, smoking, physical activity, psychological factors, and home/work reintegration.
  • Test-retest reliability assessment using a cohort of 24 patients post-MI.
  • Analysis of knowledge gains in specific domains covered by the teaching program.

    • Main Results:

    • Patients demonstrated a statistically significant increase in knowledge regarding challenges associated with returning home and to work post-MI.
    • No significant learning effect was observed in other assessed knowledge areas, including disease nature, emergency treatment, diet, smoking, physical activity, and psychological factors.
    • The findings highlight specific deficits in patient understanding despite the educational intervention.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed questionnaire is a valuable tool for evaluating post-MI patient knowledge and the efficacy of educational interventions.
    • Current in-hospital teaching programs for post-MI patients require modification to enhance knowledge across all critical recovery domains.
    • Further research and curriculum refinement are necessary to ensure comprehensive patient education for myocardial infarction survivors.
