Nurses only and multidisciplinary teams were the most frequent professionals to provide education , and most educational interventions were delivered postdischarge .
Psychoeducational interventions were generally effective at reducing smoking and admissions for patients with ACS .
Culturally appropriate health education , self-management educational interventions , group medical visits and psychoeducational interventions were generally effective for patients with T2DM .
Results indicate that there is a body of current evidence about the efficacy of health education , its content and delivery methods for patients with ACS or T2DM .
OBJECTIVES This umbrella review aim ed to identify the current evidence on health education-related interventions for patients with acute coronary syndrome ( ACS ) or type two diabetes mellitus ( T2DM ) ; identify the educational content , delivery methods , intensity , duration and setting required .
The purpose was to provide recommendations for educational interventions for high-risk patients with both ACS and T2DM .
Home versus group exercise training for increasing functional capacity after myocardial infarction.
To evaluate the efficacy of exercise training for increasing functional capacity in the 6 months after clinical ly uncomplicated myocardial infa rct ion , 198 men 52 + /- 9 years of age participated in a training study . They were r and omly assigned to one of four exercise protocol s : 8 to 26 weeks of training at home ( group 1 , n = 66 ) or in a group program ( group 2 , n = 61 ) following treadmill testing performed 3 weeks after infa rct ion , treadmill testing at 3 weeks without subsequent training ( group 3 , n = 34 ) , and treadmill testing for the first time at 26 weeks ( control , n = 37 ) . At 26 weeks functional capacity was significantly higher in patients training at home or in a group program than that in patients without training or in control patients : 8.1 + /- 1.5 , 8.5 + /- 1.3 , 7.5 + /- 1.8 , and 7.0 + /- 1.7 METs , respectively ( p less than .05 and p less than .001 ) . No significant differences in functional capacity were noted between patients training at home and those in a group program . No training-related complications occurred . Home and group training are equally effective in increasing functional capacity of low-risk patients after myocardial infa rct ion
