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 .
The Extensive Lifestyle Management Intervention (ELMI) following cardiac rehabilitation trial.
AIM Previous studies have reported lifestyle and risk factor deterioration following completion of a cardiac rehabilitation program ( CRP ) . We report the results of a one-year Extensive Lifestyle Management Intervention ( ELMI ) aim ed at preventing these adverse changes . METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 302 men and women with ischaemic heart disease were recruited following completion of a CRP and r and omized to either the  ELMI  ( consisting of exercise sessions , telephone follow-ups and risk factor and lifestyle counselling ) or  usual care . The primary outcome was global cardiovascular risk using the Framingham and Procam risk scores . Secondary outcomes included risk factors and lifestyle behaviours . Baseline characteristics were similar between the two groups . Adherence to the ELMI was high . There was a non-significant trend in favour of the ELMI between for both the Framingham ( 6.6+/-3.1 to 6.2+/-2.9 vs 6.6+/-3.2 to 6.7+/-3.2 , P=0.138 ) and Procam ( 20.0+/-20.0 to 20.6+/-19.5 vs 19.1+/-18.7 to 21.8+/-19.1 , P=0.089 ) scores . There were no differences in secondary outcomes . CONCLUSIONS A one-year multi-factorial post-CRP intervention results in modest , non-significant benefits to global risk compared to usual care . The absence of deterioration in the usual care group may be due to improved practice s in usual care
