Abstract:
The various educational options offered to patients upon discharge following cardiac decompensation were assessed using a questionnaire as part of this retrospective study. Respondents indicated that they found these options to be more complementary than redundant, with a preference for those that occur as soon as possible after discharge and in their own environment (such as the return-home program and therapeutic support through telemonitoring of heart failure). The therapeutic education program, which occurs further from the time of discharge and involves repeated travel, is therefore slightly less popular.
