RESUMO
Purpose@#The purpose of this study was to identify influence of health behavior in patients with coronary artery disease. @*Methods@#A cross-sectional descriptive design included 150 patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention in S hospital in S city. Data were collected by using self-questionnaires July 5-August 26, 2021 and were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffé test, Pearson’s correlation coefficients, and multiple regression with SPSS 23.0. @*Results@#Factors significantly influencing health behavior in patients with coronary artery disease were health empowerment (β = .48, p < .001), and post-traumatic growth (β = .20, p = .013). The explanatory power of related variables was 39%. @*Conclusion@#Based on the this study, it was found that health empowerment and post-traumatic growth had a significant effect on the health behavior of patients with coronary artery disease. Thus, it is necessary to promote the health behavior of patients with coronary artery disease through the development of intervention programs to improve health empowerment and post-traumatic growth.
RESUMO
PURPOSE@#The purpose of this study was to identify influencing factors on health behavior adherence in middle and old aged men who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention.@*METHODS@#With a convenience sampling, data were collected from 140 middle and old aged men who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention at two general hospitals. A structured questionnaire was used to measure husband-wife harmony, self-efficacy, and behavior adherence. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression.@*RESULTS@#Health behavior adherence was significantly correlated with husband-wife harmony (r=.59, p<.001) and self-efficacy (r=.54, p<.001). There was also a significant correlation between husband-wife harmony and self-efficacy (r=.48, p<.001). Overall, approximately 43.7% of the variability in health behavior adherence was explained by these two variables in this study (F=54.85, p<.001).@*CONCLUSION@#The findings suggest that husband-wife harmony and self-efficacy could be important factors affecting health behavior adherence in middle aged men who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention. Therefore, nursing interventions for them should focus on increasing husband-wife harmony and self-efficacy.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: This study was conducted to examine the effects of an individualized cardiac rehabilitation education program on knowledge about coronary artery disease (CAD), compliance of sick role and vascular health status in patients with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS: Quasi-experimental design-based nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design was employed. Using convenience sampling, data were collected from 60 patients who underwent PCI at S Hospital in S City from September 2014 to February 2015. For examining the effects of an individualized cardiac rehabilitation education program, knowledge about CAD, compliance of sick role and vascular health status were measured. RESULTS: The experimental group showed statistically significant differences in knowledge about CAD (t=24.21, p<.001), compliance with sick role (t=20.81, p<.001) and vascular health status (t=15.07, p<.001) compared to the control group. CONCLUSION: The individualized cardiac rehabilitation education program is effective in improving knowledge about CAD, compliance of sick role and vascular health status in patients who underwent PCI. Based on the findings of this study, nursing intervention programs focusing on individualized approach will be useful for patients undergoing PCI.
