Does a culturally-adapted education intervention improve disease-related knowledge and health behaviors in patients attending hybrid cardiac rehabilitation?
p-value: p=<0.001
A culturally-adapted, 6-week educational intervention in a hybrid cardiac rehabilitation model significantly improved disease-related knowledge, physical activity, and diet adherence.
Arrieta-Bartolomé et al. (2022) studied Cardiovascular disease (n=82). Comprehensive educational intervention vs. Pre-intervention baseline was evaluated on Disease-related knowledge, physical activity, and adherence to the Mediterranean Diet (p=<0.001). A 6-week comprehensive educational intervention significantly improved disease-related knowledge (p<0.001), physical activity (p<0.001), and adherence to the Mediterranean diet (p=0.005).
