Background: Although patient education programs impart health-related knowledge that promotes the individual capacity to understand basic health information, there is a dearth of studies that examine the effect of cardiac educational programs on knowledge and satisfaction among patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) in Jordan.Aim: This study aimed to examine the effect of cardiac educational programs on knowledge and satisfaction among patients with CAD.Methods: An experimental design was used.
Data were collected from 138 patients using the Coronary Artery Disease Education Questionnaire-Short Version and the Patient Satisfaction Scale.Participants were randomly allocated into an experimental group and a control group.Data were collected twice, before the intervention and one month after implementation.
Results: There was a significant difference t (61) = -3.12, Stereo Systems P= 0.03 between the mean knowledge score at pre-test (M=10.
3, SD= 3.80) and post-test (M=12, Garden SD=1.49) and a significant difference t (61) =-17.
3 P< 0.001) between the mean satisfaction score at pre-test (M=3.5, SD= 0.
38) and post-test (M=4.41, SD=0.37).
Results of paired t-test showed that there was a significant difference t (61) = -3.12, P= 0.03 between the mean knowledge score at pre-test (M=10.
3, SD= 3.80) and post-test (M=12, SD=1.49) for the experimental group.
On the other hand, there was no significant difference t (64) = 1.01, P= 0.31 between the mean knowledge score at pre-test (M=10.
8, SD=32.6) and post-test (M=10.7, SD=2.
96) for the control group.Conclusion: The findings of the current study support the significant effect of the cardiac educational program on the level of knowledge and satisfaction among patients with CAD.
