Arrythmia Clinical Trial
Official title:
Comparison of the Short-term Efficacy of Two Training Methods (Face to Face vs. Group Training) on Pulse Rate Taking in Patients With Cardiovascular Diseases, a Randomized Trial.
The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of group training using a tutorial film and one-to-one face-to-face training in calculating the pulse rate and detecting irregularity in the pulse rhythm in patients with cardiovascular diseases.
Pulse rate self-examination can provide a fairly good assessment of the patient's condition
and helps the physician with drug dosage adjustment in patients with cardiac problems.
This study will be conducted in the Cardiology wards of Modarres and Loghman hospitals in
Tehran. These are two educational general referral hospitals of Shahid Beheshti University
of medical sciences covering northern and southern part of Tehran, the capital of Iran
respectively.
After obtaining a written consent the patients will randomly assign into two groups using
random number table. One group will receive a 20-minute face-to-face training session by a
nurse on how to calculate the pulse rate in a minute and detect irregularities in the pulse
rhythm whereas a 10-minute tutorial film with the same content will be shown to the other
group.
Three practical test sessions are arranged for each patient, before the training session,
right after the training session and at least 48 hours after the training session. The tests
contain two parts and evaluate the patients' ability in calculating the exact pulse rate in
a minute and detecting irregularities in the pulse rhythm.
A special data-collecting questionnaire is designed for this study. This questionnaire
contains background information such as sex, age, and literacy level as well as the
practical test results. Data gathering process will be performed by nurses in these
hospitals. Nurses, who participate in this study, will attend in briefing sessions on how to
fill the data-collecting questionnaires.
The sample size consists of 300 patients who admitted in Cardiology ward (200 in Modarres
hospital and 100 in Loghman hospital). The data will be inserted to the computer and the
variables will be compared within and between groups using SPSS software version 16.
