The present study was conducted to evaluate effectiveness of a psychoeducation program (PEP) on the quality of life in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD).
CHD affects patients' quality of life. PEPs may be useful to help patients reach maximum functional health.
A pretest-posttest controlled clinical trial was conducted on a study population of 70 CHD patients, who were selected through convenience sampling and randomly allocated to either the intervention or the control group. The MacNew Quality of Life Questionnaire in heart disease was completed by participants twice: first as a pretest, and then in a follow-up posttest.
After the intervention, the quality of life (QOL) score was 157.97±25.51 in the intervention group and 105.03±8.38 in the control group, making for a significant difference (p<0. 05).
Based on the findings, PEPs helped CHD patients improve their quality of life through reducing tension, relieving their negative emotions, and improving their social relationships.
本研究旨在评估心理教育项目(PEP)对冠心病(CHD)患者生活质量的有效性。
冠心病会影响患者的生活质量。心理教育项目可能有助于患者达到最佳功能健康状态。
对70名冠心病患者的研究人群进行了一项前后测对照临床试验,这些患者通过便利抽样选取,并随机分配到干预组或对照组。心脏病患者使用MacNew生活质量问卷进行了两次填写:第一次作为前测,然后在后续的后测中再次填写。
干预后,干预组的生活质量(QOL)评分为157.97±25.51,对照组为105.03±8.38,差异具有统计学意义(p<0.05)。
基于研究结果,心理教育项目通过减轻紧张情绪、缓解负面情绪和改善社会关系,帮助冠心病患者提高了生活质量。
