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 .
The effects of a PRECEDE-based educational program on depression, general health, and quality of life of coronary artery bypass grafting patients.
BACKGROUND Depression is commonly reported as a consequence of  coronary artery bypass grafting surgery .  It is the most important barrier to proper treatment of cardiac patients , causing failure in accepting the condition , decreasing the motivation in following the therapeutic recommendations , and negatively affecting the patients ' function and quality of life . OBJECTIVE ( S ) The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of a PRECEDE-based educational program on depression , general health , and quality of life in coronary artery bypass grafting surgery patients . METHODS The experimental study included 54 post-bypass surgery patients in Isfahan Cardiovascular Research Center . The patients were r and omly assigned to intervention and comparison groups ( 27 patients in each ) . The data were collected using four question naires ( Cardiac Depression Scale , General Health Question naire-12 , SF-36 , and a PRCEDE-based question naire to measure predisposing , reinforcing , enabling factors , and self-help behaviors ) . All subjects were pre-tested . The intervention , consisting of nine educational sessions per week ( 60 - 90min each ) was implemented . The patients were followed for 2 months post-intervention and post-tested at the end of the second month . RESULTS Following the educational intervention , the mean scores of predisposing factors , enabling factors , reinforcing factors and self-helping behaviors were significantly increased in the intervention group , compared to the comparison group ( p<0.001 ) . The mean score for depression in the comparison group ( 104.5±30.4 ) and intervention group ( 112.8±21.9 ) decreased significantly following educational intervention , but the change was more pronounced in the intervention group compared with the control group ( 66.2±22 vs. 89.2±27.8 ) . The difference between the two groups on the basis of general health was statistically significant ( p<0.0001 ) . Improvements in quality of life on the basis of physical function ( p<0.04 ) , role limitations result ing from emotional status ( p<0.01 ) , and mental health ( p<0.04 ) were statistically significant . CONCLUSION The findings of the study confirmed the effectiveness of an educational program based on the PRECEDE Model on decreasing depression level , improving general health , and increasing quality of life in coronary artery bypass grafting surgery patients
