The Effect of Education Given to Patients with Atrial Fibrillation on Anxiety Levels

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This study aims to evaluate the effect of a structured training program on state anxiety levels in patients diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation (AF). AF is a chronic heart rhythm disorder that negatively affects patients' quality of life with both physical and psychological symptoms. Lack of information and uncertainty in AF patients cause increased anxiety levels, making compliance with treatment difficult. This study aims to determine whether an educational intervention for AF patients can reduce their anxiety levels and increase their awareness of the disease. This is a randomized controlled trial. A two-session individual training program containing detailed information about AF will be applied to the training group and no training will be given to the control group. Data will be collected through a personal information form and the Situationality Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Hypotheses of the Research H0: Training regarding Atrial Fibrillation has no effect on the anxiety level of patients. H1: Education regarding Atrial Fibrillation reduces the anxiety level of patients.
