title: Effects of health belief model-based video training about risk factors on knowledge and attitude of myocardial infarction patients after discharge.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Ischemic heart diseases are the most common cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to assess the effects of video training about risk factors based on health belief model on knowledge and attitude of myocardial infarction patients after discharge.
  
  
  METHODS
  This was a quasi-experimental study conducted in 2010. Eighty patients were randomly assigned to either intervention or control group. Data was collected by a researcher-made questionnaire.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Study results showed that the mean score of knowledge about disease, diet, physical activity and perceived benefit, severity, and susceptibility after video training was increased significantly.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Using videos for educating myocardial infarction patients is a useful method for preventing recurrence of the disease.
