Does an educational intervention based on Leventhal's model improve illness perception in patients following cardiac pacemaker implantation?

Population

51 consecutive patients admitted for permanent cardiac pacemaker implantation, evaluated before and 10 weeks after an educational intervention.

Intervention

Educational intervention based on Leventhal's model, consisting of two sessions delivered in the hospital and clinic

Comparator

Pre-intervention baseline (before educational intervention)

Outcome

Illness perceptions measured by the pacemaker-specific Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ) at 10 weeks following pacemaker implantationpatient reported

A structured educational intervention improves illness perception and reduces emotional concern in patients undergoing permanent pacemaker implantation.

Rakhshan et al. (2013) studied Cardiac pacemaker implantation (n=51). Educational intervention based on Leventhal's model vs. Pre-intervention baseline was evaluated on Illness perceptions measured by the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ). An educational intervention based on Leventhal's model led to pacemaker patients having a more benign view about their illness, with better understanding and less concern at 10 weeks.
