Secondary prevention in coronary artery disease: development and content validity of educational messages for mobile phones

Abstract

Objective: To identify information needs of patients with coronary artery disease and develop and validate the content of educational messages for mobile phones for these patients. Method: The study was carried out in three phases: 1) Identification of information needs in relation to coronary artery disease of patients hospitalized for an acute coronary event; 2) Development of templates containing text and pictures about the disease and treatment; 3) Content validity analysis of template evidence through the assessment of 10 experts. Templates were considered validated when the Content Validity Ratio (CVR) was equal to or greater than 0.80. Results: A total of 67 patients were included, and all the information that emerged about the disease was classified as important to very important. Thirty templates were developed (heart function, recommendations on nutrition and exercise, treatments and medications, and clinical signs related to the disease and risk factor control), and the CVR obtained was greater than 0.80. Conclusion: All information needs were categorized by patients as important or very important. The templates were developed and validated considering content and design.

Acceptability, Preferred Medium, and Components of Nurse-Led Cardiac Telerehabilitation: A Cross-Sectional Study

“…Our study found education and medications were tied for the top scoring CTR components being in the patient's perspective. Drug information was the most desired need in center-based CR (de Melo Ghisi et al, 2014;Xiao et al, 2017), even in CTR (Ghisi et al, 2022;Vieira et al, 2023), drug information is the highest information need. The awareness rate of medication management is the lowest, which may be why it had the highest need score (Zhou et al, 2017).…”

Construction and validation of educational technology for the management of preoperative thirst

“…O uso de mensagens de texto em telefones celulares é um dos grandes avanços da tecnologia que podem ser usados em programas de promoção da saúde e aumentar o acesso e a adesão aos tratamentos e às intervenções em saúde (19) . Com o objetivo de contribuir na adesão e na melhoria do tratamento, assim como os deste estudo, na literatura podem ser encontrados dados que se assemelham a estes, como a utilização de aplicativo com mensagens de textos que contribuíram para a adesão à terapia antirretroviral do HIV (20) , e outro estudo que validou as mensagens educativas para a prevenção secundária da doença arterial coronariana (21) .…”
