Abstract
BACKGROUND: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a life‑threatening condition that causes physical
and psychological disorders and decreases patients’ quality of life (QoL). Performing proper
educational self‑care program may lead to higher QoL in these patients. This study was performed
to investigate the effectiveness of a self‑care educational program on QoL in patients with CAD.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This semi‑experimental study was performed on 60 patients with
CAD referred to the cardiac rehabilitation (CR) center of Vali Asr hospital in Qom, Iran, in 2018–2019.
Patients were divided into control and intervention groups by randomized sampling. The self‑care
educational program was provided through lectures and booklet. Data collection was done using the
“demographic and clinical data questionnaire,” and “Seattle Angina questionnaire.” Questionnaires
were completed in both groups, before and at least 1 month after education. Analysis of the obtained
data was performed using SPSS software (version 25), central indexes, Mann–Whitney test, and
Wilcoxon test.
RESULTS: No significant differences were observed between the two groups for demographics
characteristics and quality of life before the intervention. Before the self‑care program, the mean score
of the QoL in the intervention and control group were 56.14 ± 9.75 and 58.46 ± 11.71, respectively.
After that, the mean score of the QoL in the intervention and control group were 59.25 ± 10.56 and
59.7 ± 13.33, respectively. The statistical analysis showed significant differences in the mean scores
of QoL in the intervention group before and after the intervention (P < 0.05). However, no statistically
significant differences were seen in the control group before and after the study (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: The self‑care educational program improved the QoL in patients with CAD.
Therefore, lectures and educational booklets should be considered by CR nurses.
