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 .
Designing and Testing Telehealth Interventions to Improve Outcomes for Cardiovascular Patients
This article presents considerations for the design and testing of electronic interventions to improve recovery outcomes in cardiac patients . A brief description of the design and testing of 2 telehealth interventions for cardiac patients is provided : HeartCare and E-CHANGE . The HeartCare project was a r and omized trial of a home support program for patients after coronary artery bypass graft surgery .  E-CHANGE is an Internet-based home support program design ed to increase lifestyle exercise after a cardiac event . Lessons learned from these 2 projects regarding design considerations , system use , effectiveness , and research challenges are discussed . Methods to promote the preservation of nursing values in electronic systems are described , as well nursing roles in the use of computer-assisted care
