Abstract
Aim. This study was conducted to compare the effect of positivism education and health promoting lifestyle education on psychological well-being and health anxiety in people with cardiovascular disease.
Background. People with cardiovascular disease have problems in the terms of psychological well-being and health anxiety and positivism education and health promoting lifestyle education are likely to be effective in improving psychological well-being and health anxiety.
Method: The present study was a semi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test design with a control group. The study population consisted of people with cardiovascular disease who referred to Golestan Hospital of Ahvaz city, Iran, in 2021. Sixty people were recruited by purposive sampling method based on inclusion criteria and randomly assigned to three equal groups. Experimental groups separately underwent 8 sessions of 90-minute duration by positivism education and health promoting lifestyle education, respectively, and during this time the control group did not receive any intervention. Data were collected by the demographic information form, short form health anxiety inventory and psychological well-being revisited questionnaire, and were analyzed by Chi-square, univariate analysis of variance, multivariate analysis of covariance and Bonferroni post-hoc test in SPSS-19 software.
Findings. The findings showed that the experimental and control groups did not significantly differ in terms of gender, education level, age and duration of cardiovascular disease. Both methods of positivism education and health promoting lifestyle education were effective in improving psychological well-being and health anxiety in people with cardiovascular disease (P≤0.0001), but there was no statistically significant difference between the intervention methods in improving psychological well-being and health anxiety.
Conclusion. The effect of both methods of positivism education and health promoting lifestyle education on improving psychological well-being and health anxiety was confirmed and there was no significant difference between these methods in improving psychological well-being and health anxiety. Therefore, health professionals and therapists can use both methods to improve health-related characteristics.
