Abstract
Patient education has demonstrated its potential to improve modifiable risk factors.
The aim of this study is to assess the effect of health education delivered to angina patients with risk factors. Sixty patients complaining of angina pectoris who fitted the stated criteria were included in this study conveniently. They were divided into 2 equal groups (the study and the control groups), thirty patients for each. The study group was exposed to an educational program, while the control group was not. Effect of patient education was measured through follow-up of the risk factors. The results revealed a statistically significant difference between the 2 groups regarding most of the risk factors assessed. Conclusion: patients who participated in the educational program showed an improvement in modifiable risk factors compared to the control group who did not participate in the program, which could shed light on validating effectiveness of the designed program. The study recommended the development of innovative strategies that promote management of cardiovascular disease.
