Purpose of the study. The primary aim of this study was to test the effects of an educational and counseling intervention designed to reduce delay on the knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, perceived control, and anxiety of older adults at risk for acute myocardial infarction (AIM). Secondary aims were to identify gender differences in and predictors of knowledge at baseline and perceived control at follow-up. Design and methods. A randomized controlled pre-test, post-test design was carried out with a sample of 115 participants who were >65 years of age and had a history of coronary artery disease. Participants were on average 74 (±6) years old and 52% were female. The intervention provided information on coronary artery disease, the pathophysiology of AIM, typical and atypical symptoms, and the appropriate actions to take should AIM symptoms develop. Data were collected at baseline and 3-months post-intervention and groups were compared using one way analysis of variance. Results. There was a significant difference over time between the experimental and control groups on knowledge and attitudes. The intervention did not result in a significant difference in beliefs, perceived control, and anxiety between the two groups, although the changes were in the hypothesized directions. There were no significant gender differences in knowledge. Income, age, gender, education, history of MI, and a cardiologist involved in care predicted only 9% of baseline knowledge. At 3-months, 26% of perceived control was predicted by education, history of stroke, anxiety, and beliefs. Implications. A brief, focused educational intervention was effective in improving knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and perceived control related to presentation and actions to take in the face of an evolving AIM without increasing anxiety. Clinics, physician offices, and community centers could be used to provide individualized, teaching and counseling for older adults at risk for AIM.
