Abstract
This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of health education in the Tatarstan Republic by establishing educational programs – Health Schools – for groups of patients with a high risk of developing potentially fatal cardiac and respiratory conditions. The concept of “Life Course Health Development” implies the development of mechanisms for personalized health management. The goal of the study is to explore the effectiveness of the specialized Health Schools in Tatarstan. For the comparative study of health education effects on the overall state of personal health, 590 patients were surveyed in a randomized controlled trial. The groups of patients were compared in relation to their health education; their health status was observed prior to and afterward undergoing the educative preventative programs and estimated in comparison between the two groups. Extrapolation of the data on Tatarstan’s patient population was obtained through this study, taking into account the state of health of the Health Schools students, obtaining the regression equations of population mortality and the effects of training on it. The effectiveness of Health Schools for patients with cardiovascular pathology has been proven. However, additional efforts are required to involve a wider range of patients and increase learning effectiveness to critical levels of awareness by introducing new forms of education in Health Schools since it statistically significantly increased the awareness level regarding disease nature and preventive measures.
Highlights
Today, a healthy lifestyle is widely considered the only economically feasible and productively perceptive way of developing healthcare systems [1]
“Life Course Health Development” (LCHD) is a fundamentally new approach to a healthy lifestyle developed by Neal Halfon, the Director of the UCLA Center for Healthier Children, Families, and Communities (Los Angeles, United States of America) and his colleagues; this approach was intensively explored and improved for the past 20 years concerning its improvability on healthy development as a complex dynamic process starting before conception and lasting for the entire lifetime, guiding the development of new strategies aimed at optimizing the health paths of individuals and the population [2,3,4]
The purpose of this research is to determine the effectiveness of training patients with arterial hypertension (AH), stable angina pectoris (SAP), and chronic heart failure (CHF) at the Health Schools from the Republic of Tatarstan
Summary
A healthy lifestyle is widely considered the only economically feasible and productively perceptive way of developing healthcare systems [1]. “Life Course Health Development” (LCHD) is a fundamentally new approach to a healthy lifestyle developed by Neal Halfon, the Director of the UCLA Center for Healthier Children, Families, and Communities (Los Angeles, United States of America) and his colleagues; this approach was intensively explored and improved for the past 20 years concerning its improvability on healthy development as a complex dynamic process starting before conception and lasting for the entire lifetime, guiding the development of new strategies aimed at optimizing the health paths of individuals and the population [2,3,4]. Health Schools for patients with cardiovascular diseases in Russia – a condition which happens to be the significant factor in mortality among the adult population – implemented this approach. The World Health Organization recommends providing health education to improve the population’s well-being by raising awareness and fixing people’s attitudes towards general fitness.
