Abstract
Aim The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of face-to-face education on knowledge, attitude, and believes of acute coronary syndrome patients about heart disease and their reaction to symptoms. Background Coronary artery disease is known as an important health issue. Mortality results from myocardial infarction are highly dependent on time interval between symptoms presentation and reperfusion intervention. Reperfusion leads to the best results, especially if started within the first 60 minutes after beginning the manifestations. Many studies have been conducted to examine strategies for decreasing delay time, but education through media has not received enough attention. Method In this clinical trial, 300 patients referred to Shahid Radjaee Cardiovascular Hospital and diagnosed as acute coronary syndrome were randomly allocated to receive either education and counseling as intervention (n=150) or regular education (control group, n=50). The inclusion criteria were: not having serious complicated co-morbidity such as psychiatric disorder, renal insufficiency, malignancies or neurologic disorders and speaking and comprehending Pesian. Data collection instruments were demographic form and Rapid Early Action for Coronary Treatment (REACT). Data were collected before intervention and one and three months after the beginning of intervention. The data were analyzed by SPSS. Findings The study findings showed high rate of reporting risk factors in both groups. Most patients of both groups had referred to cardiologist. In experimental group, knowledge, attitude and belief scores increased significantly, one and three months after the beginning of the intervention. Between group comparisons showed a statistically significant difference between two groups in terms of knowledge, attitude and belief scores (P≤0.0001). Conclusion Face-to-face education and counseling improves knowledge, attitude and believes of the patients about acute coronary syndrome, thereby, may reduces delay in treatment. Improvement of patients’ knowledge is the basic step for symptom management of the acute coronary syndrome.

Abstract
Aim. This study aimed to determine barriers to patient education from the perspective of patients, nurses and doctors.
Background. Patient education is one of the indicators of quality of heath care services. Patient education could lead to a reduction in the cost of health care and increase the quality of care and ultimately, help the patient to become independent and self-sufficient.
Method. A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out. The research population included physicians, nurses and patients admitted to different wards of the Rajaee cardiovascular medical and research center. The sampling method was stratified random sampling for each population of the participants (patients, nurses and doctors). Data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire that measured the obstacles to patient education. The collected data were analyzed by SPSS software.
Findings. According to physicians, the most important barriers to education for patients was related to patients, and then related to physicians. From the viewpoint of nurses, the most important barriers to patient education were related to nurses. Patients evaluated themselves as the most important barrier to patient education, and then, the most important barriers were related to nurses from patients’ perspectives.
Conclusion. Regarding the importance of teaching to the patient, it is suggested that the managers take actions to increase the number of nursing staff, provide patients with educational brochures, allocate sufficient funds for patient education, supervise and encourage nurses and doctors, and prioritize training in daily tasks.
