Abstract:
Objective To survey the knowledge requested by patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) after stent implantation.Methods A survey on CAD and stent-related knowledge requested by CAD patients with stent implantation was conducted with a self-designed questionnaire from September 2013 to November 2013.Total 362 patients (235 males and 127 females) aged (67 ± 12) years participated in the survey in Yuetan Community Health Service Center and Fuxing Hospital in Beijing.Open questions and heuristic questions were used together during the survey.Results The knowledge requested by patients were:diet management(255,70.4％),side effects of medication(241,66.6％),management of physical activity (221,61.0％),prevention of CAD(181,50.0％),withdrawal of medication(176,48.6％),the life of stents (168,46.4％),post-operation check-up items (162,44.8％),the causes of CAD (156,43.1％)and drug mechanisms(134,37.0％).Patients with stent implantation less than one year requested more knowledge about the cause of CAD (x2 =37.4,P ＜ 0.001),life-time of stent (x2 =39.9,P ＜0.001),prevention of CAD (x2 =13.4,P =0.001),post-operation check-up items (x2 =21.2,P =0.001) and requested less knowledge about withdrawal of medication (x2 =9.56,P =0.008),diet management (x2 =6.49,P =0.04) than those with more than one year.Patients aged ＜ 70 years requested more knowledge about the cause of CAD (x2 =31.6,P ＜ 0.001),prevention of CAD (x2 =9.99,P =0.007),life-time of stent (x2 =79.1,P ＜ 0.001),side effects of medication (x2 =7.84,P =0.02) than patients aged ＞ 70 years.Patients with education higher than junior high school requested more knowledge about the cause of CAD (x2 =26.6,P ＜ 0.001),prevention of CAD (x2 =14.4,P =0.001) and life-time of stents (x2 =7.82,P =0.02) than those with education lower than junior high school.Patients with education higher than junior college requested more knowledge about the cause of CAD (x2 =26.6,P ＜ 0.001) and post-operation check-up items (x2 =10.7,P =0.005) than those with education lower than junior college.Conclusion Some factors affect the knowledge requested by patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) after stent implantation,which should be considered in health education for CAD patients.
