Key result
Interactive patient education using an audience response system significantly improved short-term disease knowledge immediately after sessions, but demonstrated no long-term effect.
Why the study?
Patient education and compliance are vital to cardiovascular rehabilitation, but whether interactive learning via an audience response system improves learning success remained unknown.
Does interactive patient education via an audience response system improve learning success and health status in patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation?
Population
260 patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation
Comparison
Interactive training using an audience response system vs control without audience response system
Design
Randomized prospective cohort study
Follow-up
12 months after discharge

Short-term knowledge gains from interactive education do not persist; challenges reliance on single-session interventions without reinforcement in cardiac rehab.

Does interactive patient education via an audience response system improve learning success and health status in patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation?
The use of an interactive audience response system during cardiac rehabilitation educational sessions improves short-term knowledge retention but does not yield significant long-term knowledge or health status benefits.
Stoevesandt et al. (2020) conducted an RCT in Cardiovascular diseases (n=260). Interactive training using Athens audience response system vs. Educational sessions without audience response system was evaluated on Knowledge about primary disease. Interactive patient education using an audience response system significantly improved short-term disease knowledge immediately after sessions, but demonstrated no long-term effect.
