The purpose of this study was to describe the development and testing of a videotape intervention for sexual counseling after myocardial infarction (MI).
A videotape was developed as a research intervention for sexual counseling after MI. The concepts of sexual integrity, quality of life, and stress and coping were key concepts underpinning the intervention. This article describes the development of the videotape and its content, including considerations for planning, testing, and producing a videotape for research. The videotape intervention is currently being used in a study of patients with MI who are pretested while hospitalized and posttested at 1, 3, and 5 months after MI. Subjects in the treatment group receive the videotape to view in the privacy of their home. Control subjects receive the videotape after the 5-month follow-up period. All subjects receive the usual written and verbal instructions while hospitalized.
The 5 outcome variables tested in the study with the videotape are quality of life, knowledge, anxiety, sexual satisfaction, and return to sexual activity.
The use of a videotape intervention in the home setting provides an additional method of patient education. This approach appears ideal for this sensitive topic.
本研究旨在描述心肌梗死(MI)后性咨询录像干预措施的开发与测试。
制作了一盘录像带,作为MI后性咨询的研究干预手段。性完整性、生活质量以及压力与应对等概念是该干预措施的关键支撑概念。本文描述了录像带的开发过程及其内容,包括为研究规划、测试和制作录像带时的考量因素。录像带干预目前正在一项针对MI患者的研究中使用,这些患者在住院期间进行预测试,并在MI后1个月、3个月和5个月进行后测试。治疗组的受试者在家中私下观看录像带。对照组受试者在5个月随访期后观看录像带。所有受试者在住院期间均接受常规的书面和口头指导。
该研究中使用录像带测试的5个结果变量为生活质量、知识、焦虑、性满意度以及恢复性活动情况。
在家庭环境中使用录像带干预提供了一种额外的患者教育方法。这种方法对于这个敏感话题似乎是理想的。
