Background & aim: One of the basic tools in changing the lifestyle and the patients’ perception of the disease is the existence of an educational program using innovative teaching methods. The present study was conducted to determine the effect of multimedia education with the Leventhal’s Model approach on the lifestyle and understanding of the disease in patients with atrial fibrillation.
Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 60 patients with atrial fibrillation were randomly assigned into two intervention (n=30) and control (n=30) groups at Kashani Shahrekord hospital during the year of 2022. In the intervention group, two virtual training sessions were held through multimedia software (voice, video, image and animation) under the title of 4-hour training workshop for patients on the date and time coordinated with the help of Adobe Connect program. There was no intervention in the control group. After the workshop, lifestyle and disease perception were measured using Walker’s lifestyle and disease perception questionnaire. Data analysis was done using independent t and paired t-tests.
Results: There was no statistically significant difference in the average score of lifestyle and disease perception between the two intervention and control groups before the study, and the two groups were homogeneous (p=0.041). However, the average score of lifestyle and disease perception in the intervention group has increased significantly after the implementation of the intervention compared to the control group (p≤0.001).
Conclusion: Multimedia virtual education has led to the improvement of patients’ lifestyles and disease perception. It is recommended to carry out educational interventions to improve lifestyle and disease perception in patients with atrial fibrillation.
