Key result
Early inpatient educational interventions for patients with acute coronary syndrome significantly improved physical activity, smoking cessation, physiological risk factors, and self-efficacy.
Why the study?
Due to poor enrolment in cardiac rehabilitation programs, early educational intervention before hospital discharge is important, prompting a review of early educational interventions offered to ACS patients and their effectiveness.
Does early educational intervention improve behavioral changes, physiological risk factors, and self-efficacy in patients with acute coronary syndrome?
Does early educational intervention improve behavioral changes, physiological risk factors, and self-efficacy in patients with acute coronary syndrome?
Early inpatient educational interventions for ACS patients improve self-efficacy, physical activity, and physiological risk factors, supporting their integration into phase 1 cardiac rehabilitation.
Supports integrating early inpatient education into ACS care; reinforces phase 1 cardiac rehabilitation guidelines.
Participation in cardiac rehabilitation program (CRP) had proven to promote a healthy lifestyle to improve quality of life after cardiac event. Early educational intervention is very important to prepare the patient before discharged home due to the poor enrolment in the CRP. The aims of this review are to describe the early educational interventions offered to the patients with ACS and to review its effectiveness. A literature review was conducted by analyzing related research studies published since 2009 to 2018. There were eight studies included in this review. Alternative approaches need to be considered for cardiac rehabilitation, where appropriate programs for patients that suits with the patients' needs especially while the patients are still in the hospital. The early educational intervention that inculcates the self-efficacy enhancement should be considered to guide the patients to manage themselves at home and lead a healthy lifestyle to prevent the recurrence of the disease.

Abu et al. (2020) conducted a review in Acute Coronary Syndrome (n=917). Early educational intervention vs. Usual care or standard cardiac rehabilitation was evaluated on Behavioral changes, physiological risk factors, and self-efficacy. Early inpatient educational interventions for patients with acute coronary syndrome significantly improved physical activity, smoking cessation, physiological risk factors, and self-efficacy.
