Abstract:BackgroundMuch of the relationship between health status and knowledge about health and disease
can be attributed to the combined effects of disparate health-related behavior,
environmental conditions, and socioeconomic structures as well as contact with and
delivery of health care. ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to describe and compare knowledge of patients with coronary
artery disease (CAD) enrolled in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs in Brazil and
Canada about CAD-related factors. MethodsTwo samples… Show more
“…In contrast to housewives and the difference was statistically significant. In accordance other study conducted by (Ghisi et al, 2013) among atrial fibrillation patients reported significant correlation between occupation and knowledge.…”
Background: Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is the most broadly recognized managed arrhythmia around the world. Identified knowledge and self-care to patients with AF is the way to successfully live with their disease. So necessary to this knowledge to be identified. This study aimed to assess knowledges and self-care of patients recently diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. A descriptive design was used in the current study. The study was conducted at intensive care unit and Cardiac care unit in El-zohor hospital, Port Said general hospital and El-tadamon hospital at Port Said city. A convenience sample of 110 patients recently diagnosed with atrial fibrillation included in this study. Tools of data collection, two tools were used for data collection; Patient's knowledge relevant information questionnaire and Patient's Self-care Scale. Results of the study revealed that, most of patients had moderate knowledges about atrial fibrillation and the level of self-care was observed to be high in male, highly percent among educated patients, in the individuals who work and live in urban areas. Knowledges was positive predictor of AF and self-care practice. Conclusion: most of studied patients had unsatisfactory knowledges and self-care about atrial fibrillation regarding themselves. The current study recommended that, Well-planned orientation, in-services training program and proper supervision of patients with atrial fibrillation is recommended.

“…In this regard, these proposals should be grounded in simple models, with high population coverage, since less educated patients are the ones who would benefit most from educational interventions. 22…”
BackgroundThe Coronary Artery Disease Education Questionnaire (CADE-Q), an instrument
aimed at assessing patients’ knowledge about coronary artery disease (CAD),
was originally developed and psychometrically validated in Brazil. It was
later translated, cross-culturally adapted, and validated to English.
Although both versions demonstrated good reliability and validity, new
studies in the area have pointed out the need of implementing the CADE-Q
with other components of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs, such as
psychologic factors, which had not been considered in previous version and
were added in the subsequent, adapted version. Thus, a second version of
CADE-Q was developed in English, the CADE-Q II.Objectiveto translate, culturally adapt and psychometrically validate the CADE-Q II in
Brazilian Portuguese.MethodsAfter translation and review by a Committee of specialists in CR, a version
in Brazilian Portuguese was generated and tested in 307 patients in CR.
Test-retest reliability was assessed by intraclass correlation coefficient
(ICC) in 49 patients; internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach’s
alpha (α); and, criterion validity was assessed regarding patients’
educational level and family income. The level of significance adopted for
all tests was 5%.ResultsAfter the ICC analysis, 4 items were excluded. The questionnaire was
considered internally consistent (α > 0.7). Associations were
found between the mean total scores and the variables schooling (p <
0.001) and income (p < 0.001). Median total score was 53 (14) points
corresponding to 65.4% of the total possible score.ConclusionThe Portuguese version of the CADE-Q II showed sufficient reliability,
consistency and validity, supporting its use in future studies.
“…Accordingly, the 19-item Coronary Artery Disease Education Questionnaire (CADE-Q) was previously developed and psychometrically-validated to assess CR patients' knowledge about CAD [15][16][17]. It is one of the very few available tools to measure CAD patient knowledge in the CR context that is psychometrically-validated [18][19][20][21].…”
