Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Nursing intervention
The NI will be performed at 3 times: face to face between 21 and 7 days before admission, between 7 and 15 days after the date of ablation, and 6 months after the ablation procedure.
educational program
Education for the management of AF is carried out in a structured way, following the Bowyer model using the following pre-specified subtitles: "How the heart works"; "Causes and risk factors of AF"; "Symptoms of AF";"" Goals of treatment in atrial fibrillation ""; ''preparation for the ablation procedure''; and "Lifestyle Modification". The technique consists of discussing the main subtitles and adapting the visit line to the needs of each patient
risk factors management
identify risk factors and offer guidance based on management strategies for the specific risk factor in each case
telephone and e-mail contact
patients will also be provided with a phone number and email to contact the nurse for any concerns outside the designated times within the twelve-month follow-up.
control group
After hospital discharge, all patients will be referred to their primary care physician or cardiologist for follow-up.
Patients will receive standard follow-up checks by the medical team will not receive structured education from the nurse.
