    Hospitalized cardiac patients improved their health outcomes after participating in a comprehensive education program. This program enhanced patient knowledge of cardiac conditions, risk factors, and management strategies.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Medical Education
    • Patient Health Outcomes

    Background:

    • Hospitalized cardiac patients require specialized education for effective self-management post-discharge.
    • Lack of patient knowledge can impede recovery and increase complication risks.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the impact of a structured educational intervention on hospitalized cardiac patients' knowledge and health status.
    • To assess the long-term effectiveness of patient education at six weeks and three months post-discharge.

    Main Methods:

    • A sample of 36 hospitalized cardiac patients received a five-session (45 minutes each) education program.
    • Topics included cardiac anatomy, physiology, diet, activity, adjustment, risk factors, and complication signs/symptoms.
    • Pre- and post-intervention tests were administered, with follow-up assessments at six weeks and three months.

    Main Results:

    • Significant increases in patient knowledge were observed post-intervention (p < .05).
    • These knowledge gains correlated with improved patient conditions.
    • Sustained knowledge improvement was noted at three-month follow-up.

    Conclusions:

    • A targeted educational program significantly enhances cardiac patients' understanding of their condition and management.
    • Improved patient knowledge is directly linked to better health outcomes and recovery.
    • Patient education is a critical component of cardiac care, promoting long-term well-being.
