Improving health literacy of patients with pulmonary embolism through evidence-based health information
Background Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common condition with significant physical and psychological impairments. This study was intended to examine the feasibility of how evidence-based health information on PE in the form of a brochure can be distributed and used to strengthen PE-specific health literacy. Materials and methods Patients with PE were recruited during their hospital stay and were randomized in an intervention group which was provi…
Depression mediates the association between health literacy and health-related quality of life after myocardial infarction
Depression mediates the associations between HL and disease-specific HRQOL in patients with myocardial infarction
Mental health literacy in patients with acute myocardial infarction
Elderly and poorly educated patients were at risk of poor MHL. Further studies are required to specify the role of MHL in post-AMI life and health care
Health literacy in patients with pulmonary embolism
Background Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common cardiovascular disease and health literacy is necessary to deal with its consequences after the acute event. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a new questionnaire to measure PE-specific health literacy. Methods A mixed-methods design with qualitative and quantitative elements was used in the development process. A literature review about health literacy concepts and instruments and in…
On the need for narratives in patient information
The inclusion of narratives in evidence-based patient information is a heavily discussed topic in literature. Narratives elicit intense engagement and emotional insights, but may also cause unintended persuasion effects. There is mixed evidence that adding narratives to non-narrative factual patient information is valuable for patients. In addition, providing patients with narratives about the outcome of treatments has been found to bias treatmen…
The German version of the Pulmonary Embolism Quality of Life (PEmb-QoL) questionnaire
Despite existing floor effect, most standard criteria of reliability and validity were met and indications for appropriateness of the PEmb-QoL summary score could be found. Apart from some restrictions concerning the factor structure and the dimension of social limitations, our results support the use of the PEmb-QoL questionnaire for evaluating PE-specific quality of life. Future studies should seek replication in different samples to ensure gen…
Resilience is strongly associated with health-related quality of life but does not buffer work-related stress in employed persons 1 year after acute myocardial infarction
Are daylight saving time transitions associated with changes in myocardial infarction incidence? Results from the German Monica/Kora Myocardial Infarction Registry
Specific subgroups such as men and persons with a history of AMI or prior treatment with ACE inhibitors, may have a higher risk for AMI during DST. Further studies which include data on chronotype and sleep duration are needed in order to confirm these results
Long-term survival among older patients with myocardial infarction differs by educational level
Elderly, poorly educated patients with AMI, and particularly women, have poorer long-term survival than their better educated peers. Further research is required to illuminate the reasons for this finding
Marital status shows a strong protective effect on long-term mortality among first acute myocardial infarction-survivors with diagnosed hyperlipidemia – findings from the Monica/Kora myocardial infarc…
Marital status has a strong protective effect among first myocardial infarction survivors with diagnosed hyperlipidemia, which diminishes with increasing age. Treatments, recommended lifestyle changes or other attributes specific to hyperlipidema may be underlying factors, mediated by the social support of spouses. Underlying causes should be examined in further studies
