Acute Myocardial Infarction | Other: E-learning | Not Applicable |
Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of morbi-mortality in industrialized countries. Risk of recurrence after appropriate treatment is particularly frequent in patients with inadequate observance. Secondary prevention is therefore essential to reduce the morbi-mortality of high-risk cardiovascular patients. Risk factor control and lifestyle interventions are important for these high-risk patients to reduce the overall incidence of cardiac disease. To treat these risk factors and for secondary prevention after a cardiovascular event, some medications have been shown to be efficient and European guidelines have been written to enhance evidence-based medicine prescriptions for STEMI and NSTEMI. Despite this, concerns have been postulated about patient's self-adherence to these treatments. A study has shown a long-term adherence to medications of 71% for Aspirin, 46% for β-blockers and 44% for Lipid-lowering therapy for Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) patients. Non-adherence has been associated with increased morbi-mortality in this population.
Therefore, a variety of interventions was identified to enhance patient adherence to medication in the cardiovascular field. These strategies included:
In a previous study conducted at the University hospital of Lausanne, the investigators showed a very high prescription rate of guidelines-recommended medications for patients involved in the CHUV STEMI (ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction) network. Therefore, the next step to reduce the morbi-mortality of high-risk cardiovascular patients is to enhance patient adherence to the cardiovascular drug regimen. Patient education is known as an effective process to enhance drug adherence. Unfortunately, patient education is difficult to implement because of it costs and for the time needed to educate the patient. The investigator's aim at testing a new approach using an e-learning tool for patient education purpose. The e-learning will be interactive and easy to use. It will inform the patient about his heart disease (acute coronary syndrome) and about his medications in a short time.

Experimental: BASIC
"mon cœur, mon BASIC" video viewing and installation in the own smartphone or tablet of the patient
|
Other: E-learning
The intervention consists of the presentation and installation of an internet tool to educate the patient about his heart condition and about his medications in addition to usual care. The tool is an interactive web-hosting video called "Mon Coeur, mon BASIC" adaptable to smartphones and tablets. The total length of the video is around 15 minutes. The e-learning is interactive because of the possibility to click in the video to have more details about a particular point. The tool includes a part about the heart and particularly about the ACS (physiopathology, diagnosis, coronarography, angioplasty). A second part includes an education about the medications prescribed. The patient will select the medication being prescribed and receive information about it.

ARMS (Adherence to Refill and Medication Score) score difference [ Time Frame: 1,3 and 6 months ] Adherence to Refill and Medication Score is a self-reported questionnaire with 12-items. 8 items assess adherence to taking medications, and 4 items assess the refill to medication. The results can vary from 12 (most adherent) to 48 (less adherent). The ARMS questionnaire will be assessed after 1 month, 3 months and 6 months. We will assess the difference in the mean ARMS score between control group and intervention group at these 3 timepoints.

Brief Summary | Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is still one of the major cause of morbi-mortality in Europe. After an ACS, patients should be treated with secondary prevention medication to reduce the risk of recurrence. However, it is known that patients do not take all their medicines as expected, which leads to readmission at the hospital. To enhance drug adherence, the investigators sought to develop an interactive e-learning tool for these patients. This e-learning includes information about the disease, the acute care and the subsequent medications being prescribed. The tool is now ready to use and the investigators want to assess if it has the impact to enhance self-care management of ACS patients. | ||||
