Abstract
The general aim was to evaluate different aspects of the knowledge
acquisition process in patients with heart disease. Three different
education programs were evaluated.
In Paper I 208 patients with systolic heart failure (HF) aged >60 years,
were included. They were randomized to the nurse-based outpatient clinic
or to the patients´ general practitioners (GP). The aim was to assess
effects of a nurse-based management program intended to increase the
knowledge of the HF disease and its self-care and relate the results to
gender and cognitive function. The results showed that the nurse-based
outpatient clinic has an important role in patient education, and
increases patients´ knowledge about self-care and the disease. The
results indicate that females have more to gain than men from such
management programs. Patients demonstrating signs of cognitive
dysfunction when in hospital did also benefit.
In Paper II 224 patients, aged <75 years suffering from an acute AMI or
who had underwent coronary artery by-pass grafting, were randomized to
intervention (an expanded cardiac rehabilitation program) or to control
(usual care). The aim was to investigate the effect of an expanded
cardiac rehabilitation program on psychosocial characteristics including
depression, anxiety, and quality of life (QoL) in type D and non-type D
coronary artery disease (CAD) patients. The results show that an expanded
rehabilitation program significantly reduces type D score, improves QoL,
and decreases self-estimated depression and anxiety in CAD patients in
the highest quartile of type D score.
In Paper III and IV 182 patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) were
included and referred to the nurse-based outpatient clinic. They were
randomized to intervention (patients decided on how they should be
informed and by which information technique) or to control (the nurse
decided according to usual routine).
The aim in Paper III was to compare patient-based selection of
information with nurse-based selection of information in patients with HF
and to evaluate the effects on knowledge acquisition, QoL, visits to the
outpatient clinic, drug therapy and readmissions. Patients had fewer
visits to the nurse-based outpatient clinic and a trend to a more
flexible diuretic regimen, if patients were involved in the decision on
how to be informed. Both groups increased QoL, knowledge their doses of
relevant medication, and readmissions did not differ between the two
groups.
The aim in Paper IV was to compare patient-based and nurse-based New York
Heart Association (NYHA) classification and its relation to grade of
depression and knowledge acquisition in patients with HF. The results
show a mismatch between the NYHA classifications performed by patients
respectively by the nurse. Furthermore, patients in a depressed mood at
baseline had more clinical events during the first year after
hospitalization due to CHF. However, there was no difference in knowledge
acquisition between patients in a depressed mood as compared to patients
in a normal mood.
The conclusion is that information given at a nurse-based outpatient
clinic has an important role in patient education. Females and patients
with in-hospital cognitive dysfunction had the greatest gains Patients
who are involved in the decision on how to be informed had fewer visits
to the nurse-based outpatient clinic. The fewer visits did not affect
knowledge, QoL, readmissions, or medical treatment in a negative way.
Patients assessed a higher NYHA class than a nurse. Patients who were
depressed had an increased incidence of clinical events during the first
year after hospitalisation due to HF. There was no difference in
knowledge acquisition between patients in a depressed mood as compared to
patients in a normal mood. An expanded rehabilitation program
significantly reduces type D score, improves quality of life, and
decreases self-estimated depression and anxiety in patients with CAD in
the upper quartile of type D score.
