Why the study?
This study assessed the effectiveness of secondary prevention education on health behaviour change in adults diagnosed with coronary heart disease.
Does patient education improve health behaviour change in adults diagnosed with coronary heart disease?
Does patient education improve health behaviour change in adults diagnosed with coronary heart disease?
Secondary prevention education, particularly longer duration programs, effectively improves disease knowledge and physical activity in adults with coronary heart disease.
Longer secondary prevention education programs warrant prioritization in CHD care; extends meta-analytic support for sustained knowledge and activity gains.
This study assessed the effectiveness of secondary prevention education and demonstrated improvements in all outcomes in this population. Longer duration programmes were more effective in improving disease knowledge and physical activity in the long term. These findings can assist the cardiac programmes' design, particularly in ensuring sufficient intervention duration.
