Abstract
The above report is primarily a methodologic presentation of a questionnaire designed to assess the knowledge of patients with a recent myocardial infarction (MI) concerning the nature of their disease, emergency treatment, diet and smoking, resumption of physical activity, psychological factors important in heart disease, and problems encountered when returning home and to work. This questionnaire was designed to asses an in-hospital teaching program for post-MI patients in these areas. Test, re-test results from our first group of 24 patients indicated they significantly increased their knowledge about problems surrounding their return home and to work during their time in the hospital. The failure of these patients to demonstrate a learning effect in the other areas covered has stimulated changes in the teaching program.
