[Demands for cardiac rehabilitation information in patients with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease and influential factors].

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the demands for cardiac rehabilitation information in patients with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease (CHD) and influential factors. 
 Methods: Information demands for cardiac rehabilitation in CHD patients were surveyed by questionnaire and the influential factors were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and multi-factor analysis of variance.
 Results: The score of demands for cardiac rehabilitation information in CHD patients was 3.86±0.53. Among them, the most urgent top 5 items were: drug knowledge, diagnosis and treatment, basic knowledge of the heart, emergency and safety and nutrition knowledge. The top 3-demand modes were: communication with medical workers, movies or videos to take home, and lectures. The score of demands for cardiac rehabilitation information was different in different age groups. The highest score was in the patients with age less than 60. There were different demands in different characteristic groups.
 Conclusion: The most urgent need and mode are drug knowledge and communication with medical workers, respectively. With the age increase, the demands for patients' cardiac rehabilitation information decrease. An individualized health education strategy should be developed according to the characteristics of CHD patients.
