Overview

Supports brochures to improve MI knowledge; leaves open impact on adherence or events.

Structured PICO

Does an educational brochure improve knowledge of the disease, signs, symptoms, and prevention in patients hospitalized for myocardial infarction?

P
Population
248 patients with myocardial infarction (women n = 72, men n = 176), aged 30-91 years (mean age 62 ± 11 years), treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at a single center in Poland.
I
Intervention
Educational intervention based on an educational brochure entitled 'Myocardial Infarction' provided during hospital stay.
O
Outcome
Effectiveness of educational intervention evaluated by comparing knowledge at the beginning of hospitalization (1KE) and at hospital discharge (2KE) using a 20-question survey.patient reported

An educational brochure significantly improved knowledge regarding symptoms, disease, and prevention in patients hospitalized for myocardial infarction, particularly among those with lower baseline knowledge.

Limitations

  • The results of educational intervention in our study were obtained with use of an arbitrarily chosen brochure and thus may not be valid for other brochures.
  • Brochure hand out alone as a source of valid information for the patient is insufficient and requires further motivational back-up.
