dc.description.abstractPatient education (PE), delivered during cardiac rehabilitation (CR), aims to promote CR exercise attendance by imparting knowledge about coronary artery disease (CAD; medication, risk factors, etc.) and enhancing CR-related attitudes. This study evaluated the impact of PE on motivational treatment targets (CAD knowledge, CR attitudes), and CR exercise attendance. Adults (18+) with CAD referred to CR were recruited prior to attending PE. CAD knowledge and CR attitudes (perceived necessity/suitability, exercise concerns, barriers) were assessed pre/post-PE, and at 12-week follow-up. CR exercise attendance was obtained by chart review. Seventy-one patients (87% male) participated. CAD knowledge and perceived CR necessity improved pre- to post-PE; gains persisted at 12-weeks. Greater knowledge gains did not predict larger improvements in CR attitudes or increased exercise attendance. Whereas CR-based PE may be useful for improving CAD-related knowledge and perceived need for CR, more formative work is needed to determine whether PE can promote CR exercise attendance.en_US
