ABSTRACT
This study was conducted to assess the effect of an empowerment program on the perceived risk and physical health of patients with coronary artery disease. This randomized clinical trial recruited 84 patients with coronary artery disease admitted to post-cardiac care unit (CCU) wards in Tehran Heart Center in 2017. The study subjects were selected and assessed according to inclusion criteria and assigned to intervention and control groups by block randomization. Both groups completed questionnaires for demographic details and disease history, perceived risk in cardiac patients, and physical health. The Magic Empowerment Program was performed for the intervention group as 3 workshops on 3 successive days. Intervention continued after patients' discharge from the hospital through phone calls once a week for 8 weeks. The perceived risk in cardiac patients and physical health questionnaires were completed for both groups. Postintervention results showed significant differences between the 2 groups in total score of perceived risk (P = .001) and its subscales. The Empowerment Program changed patients' attitudes toward risk-motivating behavior change and improving physical health.
