Educational intervention

Marie Christine Iliou and Margaret E. Cupples

Summary

The impact of a cardiac disease diagnosis on patients is multidimensional. Educational interventions are at the core of the delivery of effective therapy and require multidisciplinary teamwork to identify specific impacts on individuals and coordinate activities to support changes in lifestyle behaviour. Motivational interviewing and negotiation, based on a comprehensive assessment of patients’ circumstances, should identify the support they require to engage in preventive programmes. Interventions to help patients to apply new knowledge to their everyday lives should be underpinned by the use of recognized educational principles to optimize their adoption of new behaviours. Meaningful communication between professionals and patients must be timely and ongoing, to allow appropriate feedback on progress and revision of forward plans for optimal cardiac rehabilitation (CR) and secondary prevention. The quality of programmes delivered should be evaluated regularly using specified criteria.
