Abstract

Background

This study was conducted with descriptive design to determine the level of knowledge and quality of life of individuals suffering from coronary artery disease.

Methods

The study was conducted with 236 patients who applied to the cardiology outpatient clinic of a training and research hospital between November 2021 and April 2022. The data of the study were collected by personal information form, coronary artery disease education questionnaire-II and cardiac health profile scale.

Results

The patients’ total mean score for the coronary artery disease education questionnaire-II was 25.71±12.49. According to the total score obtained from the coronary artery disease education questionnaire-II, it was determined that 49.2% of the patients had an "insufficient" knowledge level, 44.5% "Poor", and 5.9% "Acceptable". Knowledge level of only one patient was good. In the chest pain classification of the cardiac health profile scale, the chest pain level of 28.4% of the patients was the "class II". Total mean score of the patients for the cardiac health profile scale was 679.88±245.89.

Discussion

It was found that the level of knowledge of the participants about coronary artery disease was insufficient and their level of quality of life was moderate. It is recommended to organize education programs based on the education, culture, perception of health, spoken language in order to elevate their knowledge level and thus their level of quality of life.

冠状动脉患者对疾病和生活质量相关知识的了解程度。

研究背景本研究采用描述性设计，旨在了解冠心病患者的知识水平和生活质量：研究对象为 2021 年 11 月至 2022 年 4 月期间在一家培训与研究医院心内科门诊就诊的 236 名患者。研究数据通过个人信息表、冠心病教育问卷-II 和心脏健康状况量表收集：结果：患者的冠状动脉疾病教育问卷-II 的总平均得分为（25.71±12.49）分。根据冠状动脉疾病教育问卷-II 的总分，49.2% 的患者知识水平为 "不足"，44.5% 为 "较差"，5.9% 为 "可接受"。只有一名患者的知识水平为 "良好"。在心脏健康档案量表的胸痛分级中，28.4% 的患者的胸痛等级为 "二级"。患者的心脏健康状况量表总平均分为（679.88±245.89）分：研究发现，受试者对冠心病的了解程度不够，生活质量处于中等水平。建议根据受教育程度、文化程度、健康观念、口语水平组织教育项目，以提高他们的知识水平，进而提高他们的生活质量水平。

期刊介绍： Under the editorial leadership of noted cardiologist Dr. Hector O. Ventura, Current Problems in Cardiology provides focused, comprehensive coverage of important clinical topics in cardiology. Each monthly issues, addresses a selected clinical problem or condition, including pathophysiology, invasive and noninvasive diagnosis, drug therapy, surgical management, and rehabilitation; or explores the clinical applications of a diagnostic modality or a particular category of drugs. Critical commentary from the distinguished editorial board accompanies each monograph, providing readers with additional insights. An extensive bibliography in each issue saves hours of library research.
