Article Synopsis
- Heart failure is a serious health issue in Germany, costing a lot for treatments, but rehab programs can help improve patients' health.
- A study included 200 heart failure patients to see how effective rehabilitation was, checking their health and quality of life over a year.
- Results showed that rehab helped patients feel better with lower death rates, proving that rehabilitation is really important for people with heart failure after they leave the hospital.
Objectives: Patient education and compliance play an important role in the success of rehabilitation in cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study is to analyze whether interactive learning methods, in this study, the audience response system with a "clicker," can improve the learning success of patients during and after their rehabilitation process.
Methods: In a randomized, prospective cohort study, a total of 260 patients were randomized to either an interactive training group using Athens audience response system or to a control group without the use of audience response system during the educational sessions.
