Insights
Improving cardiac rehabilitation knowledge and educational needs in coronary artery disease patients positively impacts health behavior. Age, knowledge, and exercise habits are key factors influencing patient outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Health Behavior Science
- Patient Education
Background:
- Coronary artery disease (CAD) patients require effective health behavior practices for recovery.
- Understanding factors influencing health behaviors is crucial for successful cardiac rehabilitation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the relationship between cardiac rehabilitation knowledge, educational needs, and health behavior practice in CAD patients.
- To identify key factors influencing health behavior practice among these patients.
Main Methods:
- A cross-sectional study involving 189 CAD patients in Korea.
- Data collected via self-evaluation questionnaires from January to May 2020.
- Statistical analysis included descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA, correlation, and multiple regression using SPSS 24.0.
Main Results:
- Significant positive correlations were found between cardiac rehabilitation knowledge and health behavior practice (r=0.37, p<0.001).
- Positive correlations also existed between educational needs and health behavior practice (r=0.17, p=0.022).
- Key predictors of health behavior practice included age (≥80), cardiac rehabilitation knowledge, regular exercise, family history, age (60-69), cohabitation, and educational needs, explaining 50% of the variance.
Conclusions:
- Cardiac rehabilitation knowledge and educational needs are vital components for enhancing patient health behavior.
- These findings underscore the importance of tailored educational strategies within cardiac rehabilitation programs for CAD patients.
Background:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships among cardiac rehabilitation knowledge, educational need and health behavior practice in patients with coronary artery disease and explain factors influencing health behavior practice.
Method:
The research participants were 189 patients with coronary artery disease from general hospital located in Korea. Self-evaluation questionnaires were used to collect the data. Data was collected from January to May, 2020. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients and multiple regression with the SPSS 24.0 program.
Results:
There were significant positive relationships between cardiac rehabilitation knowledge and health behavior practice (r = .37, p < .001), and significant positive relationships between educational need and health behavior practice (r = .17, p = .022). Factors influencing health behavior practice were identified, the most critical predictive factor was age (≥80) (β = .52), followed by cardiac rehabilitation knowledge (β = .42), regular exercise (No) (β = -.25), family history (No) (β = .24), age (60-69) (β = .22), cohabitation (No) (β = -.20) and educational needs (β = .17). The explanation power of this model was 50% and it was statistically significant (F = 13.42, p < .001).
Conclusion:
This study suggests that cardiac rehabilitation knowledge and educational need should be considered in enhancing cardiac rehabilitation programs designed for patients with coronary artery disease.
