This two-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental research was conducted to evaluate the effect of a Learning-Activated-Telephone-Home Visiting (LATH) program on the quality of life among patients with coronary artery disease. One hundred patients with coronary artery disease were selected through purposive sampling and randomly allocated to experimental or comparison group with 50 patients per group. The experimental group was given standard care along with LATH program consisting of teaching for learning, activating, telephone, and home visiting whereas the comparison group received standard care. Data were collected by using personal data questionnaire and Ferrans & Powers’s Quality of life index-cardiac version IV. Data were analyzed by percentage, mean, standard deviation and independent t-test.
The results showed that most of the samples in both experimental and comparison group were female with 56.22 ± 9.39 and 56.40 ± 9.79 years old, respectively. After the intervention, the quality of life score was 21.58 ± 1.66 in the experimental group and 14.57 ± 3.19 in the comparison group, making for a significant difference (p < .001).
Based on the findings, school of health and hospitals should coach and apply this LATH program to take care of patients with coronary artery disease in order to increase their quality of life.
