Why the study?
Disease understanding in patients with congenital heart disease is important in transitional and lifelong care, prompting the development and validation of the Japanese version of the LKQCHD.
The Japanese version of the LKQCHD is a valid tool for assessing disease-related knowledge in patients with congenital heart disease, revealing significant knowledge gaps regarding long-term complications and heredity.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May identify education needs in Japanese CHD patients; leaves open whether LKQCHD-guided interventions improve outcomes.
