Background The health belief model is one of the applicable methods of training health preventive behaviors, especially in patients with cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of patient education based on the health belief model on readmission preventive behaviors and readmission rate in patients with a primary diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome. Methods The present quasi-experimental study was conducted in 2020 on patients with a primary diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome who were discharging from Seyed Al-Shohada Hospital, Urmia, Iran. In this study, a total of 70 samples were recruited using convenience sampling and then randomly assigned to two groups of intervention and control (n = 35 in each group). A total of 7 face-to-face group training sessions were held with the participation of the patients and one of their family members during 14 days after hospital discharge. These sessions were conducted along with concentration on the structures of the health belief model. Data were collected at three time points of immediately before, one month, and three months after the intervention using a demographic questionnaire, a researcher-made questionnaire of readmission preventive behaviors in cardiovascular diseases, and a checklist of hospital readmission. Data were analyzed using SPSS Statistics for Windows, version 17.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, Ill., USA). Results The results showed that there was a statistically significant difference in the mean score of preventive behaviors between the two groups at time points of one month and three months after the intervention (p < .05). However, there was no statistically significant difference in the readmission rate between the two groups after the intervention (p > .05). Conclusion Health belief model-based education was shown to be effective on readmission preventive behaviors in patients with acute coronary syndrome, although this model had no effect on the readmission rate in these patients. Other factors affecting the readmission rate are recommended to be investigated.

“…The result was consistent with Michelozzi et al on temperature and CVD related admission in 12 European cities [ 50 ]. The decrease in risk with temperature was also demonstrated in Rasht for the association between apparent temperature and acute coronary syndrome [ 18 ]. However, numerous studies have found that extremely low temperatures can significantly increase hospital admissions and mortality [ 20 , 21 , 39 , 45 , 51 ], and most current study on low temperature and CVD related admissions are centered around extreme cold.…”

“…Currently, most studies focused on the temperature-mortality link [ [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] ], and some have identified the harvesting effect [ 10 – 13 ]. Studies on temperature and CVD related admissions, however, are limited and inconsistent in developing countries [ [14] , [15] , [16] ], and positive, negative, or no relationships were reported between temperature and CVD related admissions [ [16] , [17] , [18] , [19] ]. A J-shaped relationship was found in the study of temperatures on hospital admissions related to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in Shanghai [ 20 ].…”

“…A few studies have analyzed the association between apparent temperature and the incidence of ACS, and the results have varied. In Iran, Moghadamnia et al showed an increase in the number of ACS on days with a high apparent temperature, while Wichmann et al identified that an increase in Tapp max (the daily 3-h maximum apparent temperature) was associated with a decrease in the incidence of AMI in the cold months [ 48 , 49 ]. In Beijing, China, the number of STEMI cases increased on days with a high apparent temperature, while the incidence of NSTEMI was higher on days with a low apparent temperature [ 50 ••].…”

Purpose of Review Several studies have found that air pollution and climate change can have an impact on acute coronary syndromes (ACS), the leading cause of death worldwide. We synthesized the latest information about the impact of air pollution and climate change on ACS, the latest data about the pathophysiological mechanisms of meteorological factors and atmospheric pollutants on atherosclerotic disease, and an overall image of air pollution and coronary heart disease in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Recent Findings The variation of meteorological factors in different seasons increased the risk of ACS. Both the increase and the decrease in apparent temperature were found to be risk factors for ACS admissions. It was also demonstrated that exposure to high concentrations of air pollutants, especially particulate matter, increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Summary Climate change as well as increased emissions of air pollutants have a major impact on ACS. The industrialization era and the growing population cause a constant increase in air pollution worldwide. Thus, the number of ACS favored by air pollution and the variations in meteorological factors is expected to increase dramatically in the next few years.
