The findings from this systematic review suggest favorable effects on the readmission rates .
As well , the individualized patient education intervention is effective in promoting statistically significant changes in quality of life , performance of health behaviours , depression , and anxiety
The objective of this systematic review was to compare the effectiveness of individualized patient education interventions to st and ardized patient education interventions on the rate of readmission , performance of specific health behaviours , depression , anxiety , and cognition during the post-hospital discharge recovery period following cardiovascular surgery .
Video information combined with individualized information sessions: Effects upon emotional well-being following coronary artery bypass surgery--A randomized trial.
OBJECTIVE To test the efficacy of an information intervention upon emotional recovery following coronary artery bypass surgery . METHODS R and omized trial .  Video information was combined with individualized information sessions carried out by nurses at admission and at discharge from the hospital . The video was shown pre-operatively and again during the session at admission . Patients were helped to express their questions and worries and congruent information and support was provided . Control group patients received st and ardized information and no video . Recordings were made at baseline , discharge from hospital and during a 2 years follow-up period . RESULTS One hundred and nine patients were r and omized to the intervention or the control groups . A MANOVA was used to test of the variance of the outcome variables at each time point . At discharge intervention patients reported less anxiety ( p = 0.046 ) and better subjective health ( p = 0.005 ) . They reported better subjective health during the whole follow-up period ( 0.040 > or = p > or = 0.000 ) , less anxiety up to 1 year ( 0.042 > or = p > or = 0.004 ) , and less depression from 6 months to 2 years following discharge ( 0.023 > or = p > or = 0.004 ) . CONCLUSION The effects of the intervention probably relate to the combined use of the video and patient centered information sessions . PRACTICE IMPLICATION S The intervention can easily be implemented in clinical practice and nurses strongly identified with its principles
