Abstract

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess the effect of peer education on the quality of life and self-care behaviors of patients with myocardial infarction.

METHODS: In this clinical trial, 70 patients with myocardial infarction meeting the inclusion criteria were assigned to experimental (n = 35) or control (n = 35) groups using block randomization. Patients in the intervention group received two one-hour training sessions on the third day after myocardial infarction during the CCU stay along with routine care. Education intervention was performed by peers. The control group will follow routine care. All patients selected were assessed using McNews' quality of life questionnaire and Miller self-care questionnaire, respectively before the intervention and also one month after discharge. Chi-square and t-test were used to analyze the data.

RESULTS: After the intervention, the mean of quality of life and the mean score of self-care behaviors in the experimental group were significantly higher compared to the control group.

CONCLUSIONS: According to the results, to improve the quality of life and promote the self-care behaviors in such patients, using peer education along with healthcare professionals is recommended.

PRACTICE IMPLICATION: This patient education approach had a significant impact on quality of life and self-care behavior.
