Objective: This study was conducted to examine the effect of a Health Promotion Model-based health education program on increasing the health-promoting behaviors of acute coronary syndrome patients.
Methods: This is an experimental study that used a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The sample consisted of 101 patients hospitalized with the diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome in Turkey. The data were collected by using a Patient Monitoring Form and the Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II. While the patients in the control group received routine procedures, the patients in the experimental group were included in the health education program.
Results: The health promoting-behaviors of the control group were found to be higher than those of the experimental group in the first follow-up (p<0.001). In the last follow-up, on the other hand, it was found that the experimental group's health-promoting behaviors and smoking cessation rate were higher than the control group. Additionally, the experimental group's LDL levels, rehospitalization rates and percutaneous coronary intervention rates were found to be lower than the control group (p <0.05).
Conclusion: The Health Promotion Model-based health education program was found to be an effective method in increasing health-promoting behaviors and smoking cessation rates, and controlling LDL levels in acute coronary syndrome patients. It had a positive effect on reducing the rate of rehospitalization and percutaneous coronary intervention.
