AB  - Although, numerous studies have been conducted in the field of cardiac illnesses, none of them have
prioritized the preferences from the perspective of patients. Identifying the information needs of patients can
help to change and improve patient’s quality of life. The study was a cross-sectional study which was
conducted on 200 patients with ischemic heart disease who referred to Kosar Hospital in Semnan in 2015. The
data collection tool was a researcher made questionnaire. The findings showed that the patients more
needed to mental health problems information. Sex (OR = 2.646, CI 95%), age (OR = 3.509, CI 95%), Job
(OR = 2.876, CI 95%), education (OR = 5.187, CI 95%) and income (OR = 3.774, CI 95%) had positive and
significant relationships with the patient’s information needs (p<0.05). The results showed that patients with
ischemic heart disease have different information needs. In other words, this study showed that people are
concerned about different issues and their needs can vary based on their unique characteristics.
