Study type | Interventional |
The study aims to examine the effect of nurse-led education program on quality of life, atrial fibrillation (AF) risk factors, AF symptomatology, arrhythmia recurrence rate, and readmission rate after AF catheter ablation.

Primary | changes from the baseline and better score in the validated ASTA questionnaire of the intervention group compared to the control group at 12 months in quality of life of patients . | We will use the second part of ASTA questionnaire: it consists of 13 questions and the answers are measured using a Likert frequency scale from "Never = 0" to "Always = 4". Higher scores on this scale represent poorer quality of life. | 12 months | |
Secondary | number of patients who have the AF risk factor within normal parameters | differences between the two groups in number of patients with BMI and/or waist circumference changes from the baseline, better score on the Minnesota Adapted Scale for Physical Exercise, number of patients who do not smoke or drink alcohol, number of patients with positive polysomnography, number of patients with impaired of the analytical parameters of HbA1c, TSH, LDL or Triglycerides. | 12 months | |
Secondary | number of participants with re-hospitalisation or emergency room visits for cardiovascular cause | differences between the two groups in number of patients who come to the emergency room or re-admit after discharge from catheter ablation. | 12 months | |
Secondary | number of participants with recurrences at AF rhythm | number of AF detected by ECG or 24-hour cardiac holter routine at 3, 6 and 12 months. | 12 months | |
Secondary | differences between both groups in the score received by the patients in the User Experience Questionnaire based on the Picker-33 Patient Experience Questionnaire | It consists of 14 closed-ended questions and is performed using a checklist to assign numerical values to subjective satisfaction using a Likert scale from "No = 0" to "Yes, always = 4". Higher scores on this scale represent greater satisfaction. An open question has been added so that participants can add their suggestions | 3 months | |
Secondary | Differences between both groups in intensity, frequency and severity of symptoms related to AF evaluated with the validated ASTA questionnaire | differences between both groups in the score obtained in the first part of the validated questionnaire in Spanish and English sensitive for patients with AF. It will be self-filled by the patient himself. It consists of 8 questions formulated in 3 different ways: (1) Multiple correct answer multiple choice questions. (2) Multiple choice questions with only one correct answer. (3) Checklist for assigning numerical values to frequency using a Likert scale from "Never = 0" to "Always = 4". Higher scores on this scale represent greater severity of symptoms. | 12 months | |
Secondary | differences between both groups in the score obtained in the adapted AFKAT questionnaire patient's knowledge of AF. | differences between both groups in the Level of knowledge of FA through the AFKAT questionnaire validated in English but adapted and translated into Spanish by our team. It consists of 25 questions with dichotomous True/False answers. The more true answers, the better knowledge the participant has. | 3 months | |
Secondary | calls and emails received | Quantify the calls and emails received from patients to the FA nurse. | 12 months |
