Abstract
BACKGROUND: Patient education is a key factor in promoting the health of people with acute
coronary syndrome (ACS), and the effective use of technology can play an important role in this
regard. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of education using media messages on the
lifestyle of patients with ACS.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The present clinical trial was conducted on 91 cases with ACS
admitted to the cardiac ward of Afshar Hospital in Yazd, Iran, during 2018–2019, who were randomly
assigned to control and intervention groups. The former only was provided with routine training before
discharge, while the latter, in addition to routine training before discharge, received education on
social networking and sending text/visual messages. At baseline and 3 months after the intervention,
the Walker’s Lifestyle Questionnaire was completed. The independent t‑test, paired t‑test, and
Chi‑square test were employed for data analysis.
RESULTS: The average lifestyle value of the intervention group was significantly higher compared
with the control group after the intervention (P ˂ 0.001). Moreover, the lifestyle score was significantly
different pre‑ and post‑intervention in the intervention group (P ˂ 0.001).
CONCLUSIONS: Education using media messages is useful to promote the lifestyle in cases with
ACS, which seems effective in planning the follow‑up for these patients.
