<![CDATA[Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) is a life-threatening condition. Health education interventions are needed as secondary prevention efforts. This study aimed to analyze the effect of health education on self-efficacy and self-care for ACS patients. This study used a pre-experimental one-group pre-posttest design. The number of samples was 41 respondents taken by purposive sampling technique. Self-efficacy was measured using the General Self-Efficacy (GSE) questionnaire, Cardiac Diet Self-Efficacy (CDSE), and Cardiac Self-Efficacy (CSE). Self-Care Coronary Heart Disease Inventory (S-C CHDI) was used to measure self-care of the patients. Data were analyzed using a dependent t-test. The results showed an increase in the average score of self-efficacy before health education from 129.12 (SD = 16.65) to 142.49 (SD = 13.34) after health education. The self-care score before health education was 51.78 (SD = 11.51), which increased to 59.90 (SD = 10.25) after health education was performed. There was a significant increase in self-efficacy and self-care after health education was conducted, with a p-value = 0.001 <0.05. There was a significant influence of health education intervention on self-efficacy and self-care of patients with ACS. Health education can be programmed as a nursing intervention for ACS patients who are receiving treatment in a hospital.]]>
