Enhancing cardiovascular patients’ knowledge of air pollution: a pilot study evaluating the impact of an educational intervention in cardiac rehabilitation
The pilot study highlights the critical role of targeted education in improving patient awareness and knowledge about air pollution. The significant improvement in understanding key concepts underscores the need for broader educational initiatives that extend beyond CR programs. Future research should explore the impact of such interventions on long-term health outcomes and consider expanding educational efforts to include healthcare providers and family members.
