Abstract [en]

Objective: Evaluate the effects of a psycho-educational model for follow-up in adults with congenitally malformed hearts.

Methods: The study had a randomized controlled design. Usual care was compared with computer-based and individualized care by face-to-face psycho-education by a multidisciplinary team. Knowledge and perceived control regarding the heart condition, symptoms of anxiety and depression was analysed at baseline, 3 and 12-months.

Results: The 114 participants (control group n=58, intervention group n=56) had an average age of 34 years, SD 13.5. The intervention group had significantly higher general knowledge after 3 (effect size (ES) 0.63, p= <0.01), and 12-months (ES 0.53, p= 0.02). Knowledge regarding endocarditis was significantly increased at 3 (ES 1.43, p=<0.001), and 12-months (ES 0.58, p= 0.02) compared to baseline. There were no changes in knowledge regarding medical treatment, contraceptives and pregnancy, perceived control or anxiety and depression in any of the groups.

Conclusion: The model for follow-up was effective to improve and maintain knowledge about self-management.

Practice implication: Future evaluation of how the improved knowledge will affect health behaviours over-time is needed. Clinical Trials NCT01234753
