Introduction: There is currently a lack of validated tools that measure knowledge level as an outcome of the educational component of cardiac rehabilitation programs in our local setting. The researchers aim to culturally adapt and validate a questionnaire that was designed to assess patients’ knowledge about coronary artery disease and participation in cardiac rehabilitation programs, the second version of the Coronary Artery Disease Education Questionnaire (CADE-Q II). Methods: Qualified translators did two independent translations of the questionnaire. After back translation, the questions were reviewed and modified by a committee of experts. The final Filipino version was tested in a pilot study. For psychometric validation the tool was administered to 109 patients enrolled in a cardiac rehabilitation program. Criterion validity was assessed with regards to differences in educational attainment and patient characteristics. Spearman rank was used to correlate patient’s level of knowledge with number of sessions attended. Internal consistency was assessed by use of cronbach’s alpha. Results: The final version of the questionnaire had 30 questions arranged in five domains consisting of medical condition, risk factors, exercise, nutrition, and psychosocial risk. Patients who were college graduates had significantly higher mean scores than non college graduates. The number of cardiac rehab sessions attended had a weak but statistically significant correlation with knowledge. (spearman rho 0.35, p=0.007). The overall internal consistency of the questionnaire was good (α=0.75) Conclusion The CADE-Q II questionnaire cross culturally adapted in Filipino is a valid and reliable tool which can be used to assess Filipino patients’ knowledge about their disease when participating in cardiac rehabilitation programs.

PURPOSE: This study was done to determine how a hospital life guidance movie enhanced the understanding of hospital life by elderly in-patients. METHOD: A non-equivalent control group post-test design was used for the study. The experimental group watched a movie on guidance for hospital life while an in-patient control group read corresponding guidance booklets. The understanding and satisfaction from the respective programs for the two groups were surveyed with a questionnaire. The data were analyzed using SPSS. RESULTS: The group which watched the movie had a better understanding of hospital life than the group which read the booklets. The patients who watched the movie also expressed more satisfaction with their guide program than the patients who only read the booklets. Understanding of hospital life had relevance to satisfaction with the given program. CONCLUSION: The results of this study suggests that a movie on hospital life provides better guidance which helps the prospective patients understand and adapt better to their hospital life. Therefore, this type of movie is considered to be an effective medium to provide guidance to elderly in-patients.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of reinforced health education on deep radiofrequency thermotherapy for patients with tumor. METHODS: From June 2012 to June 2014, 106 patients who underwent deep radiofrequency thermotherapy in our hospital were randomly selected, and were divided into a control group (n=69) and an observation group (n=65). The observation group received reinforced health education while the control group received the traditional health education before treatment. Th e reinforced health education included preparation, cooperation and health behavior during and aft er treatment. Th en the compliance rate, degree of satisfaction, and the awareness rate of related knowledge were compared and analyzed aft er treatment between the 2 groups. RESULTS: Th e compliance rate in the observation group and the control group was 85.51% and 63.08% respectively; there was significant difference in the awareness rates of related knowledge and the overall degree of satisfaction between the patients and their family members (all P<0.05). CONCLUSION Implement of reinforced health education is benefit to patients to understand the content of health education before treatment and keep health behavior after treatment, and can also improve the compliance, the degree of satisfaction in the deep radiofrequency thermotherapy for patients with tumor.

PURPOSE: This study was conducted to investigate whether an individualized cancer patient education would increase selfcare knowledge and performance. Eventually, it was to reduce side effect and promote self-care for chemotherapy. METHOD: This study utilized a nonequivalent control group pre-post test design. The subjects included 50 patients with cancer 25 in the experimental group, and 25 in the control group. The study was performed from January 2006 to June 2006 for the patients who were first treated by chemotherapy in a university hospital. RESULTS: Individualized education was significantly increased in self-care knowledge and performance. Self-care knowledge and performance showed significant correlations as well. CONCLUSIONS: Individualized patient education was an effective nursing intervention in increasing self-care knowledge and performance for chemotherapy.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of a structured preoperative PCA education to that of the usual informal teaching provided by hospital staff in alleviating postoperative pain through more effective use of PCA therapy. METHOD: As an advanced research, the knowledge about the use of PCA therapy and the attitude about the use of the pain medicine were estimated, and then as a later research, the knowledge about the use of PCA therapy, the attitude about the use of the pain medicine, and the score of the pain were estimated. RESULT: The experimental group those who received structured preoperative PCA education had statistically significant higher knowledge regarding the use of PCA therapy(p=0.026) and more positive attitudes toward using pain medicine(p=0.004). The experimental group those who received structured preoperative PCA education reported better pain control 4(p= 0.002), 8(p=0.014) and 24 hours(p=0.018) after the operation. CONCLUSION: The structured preoperative PCA education increases the knowledge for the use of patient's PCA therapy and changes their attitude toward the use of the pain medicine positively and consequently enable the use of PCA therapy to be more effective and then finally reduced the patient's pain after the operation.
