Background: lifestyle modification is most important in the management of ischemic heart disease patients. Aim: The study aimed to evaluate the effect of implementing a designed lifestyle modification program on outcomes among patients' with ischemic heart disease. Design: Quasiexperimental research design was utilized in this study. Setting: The study was carried out at Coronary Care Unit and cardiology out-patient clinics at Benha University Hospital. Subjects: Purposive sample of ischemic heart disease (100) patients who was admitted in the mentioned setting of the study during six months. Tools: Two tools were used. Tool (I): Structured interviewing questionnaire included three parts; demographic characteristics, health history and assessment of patients’ knowledge regarding ischemic heart disease. Tool (II): Patients' clinical outcomes to evaluate patients' outcomes regarding IHD. Results: (99%) of studied patients had poor total knowledge level regarding ischemic heart disease at pre lifestyle modification program implementation, while immediately post implementation (79%) of them had good level of knowledge and after three months there was slightly decline in their level of knowledge (55%), after three months with a highly statistically significant (p≤0.001). Total (100%) of studied patients had unhealthy lifestyle behavior preprogram implementation, however, post one month implementation (90%) of them had healthy lifestyle behavior, while post three months slight increase in healthy lifestyle behavior was observed (96%). Conclusion: Lifestyle modification program effectively improved patients' knowledge and lifestyle practice among ischemic heart disease patients post lifestyle modification program implementation than pre. And there was highly statistically significant correlation between total patients' knowledge about lifestyle modification and their clinical outcomes. Recommendation: Continuous education and training program regarding lifestyle modification for IHD patients. | ||||
