Abstract
Background: Disease understanding in patients with congenital heart disease is important in transitional and lifelong care. This study aimed to develop the Japanese version of the Leuven Knowledge Questionnaire for Congenital Heart Disease (LKQCHD) and identify factors associated with disease-related knowledge. Methods and Results: After confirming the content and face validity of the scale, a questionnaire including the LKQCHD was distributed to 59 eligible patients aged >16 years attending a university hospital. For the 58 participants who responded (30 males, 28 females; median age 22 years), the mean (±SD) LKQCHD total score was 53.7±15.4, with mean (±SD) scores for each domain as follows: Disease and Treatment, 68.3±19.7; Preventing Complications, 45.8±19.0; Physical Activity, 74.1±34.1; Sex and Heredity, 37.9±35.4; and Contraception and Pregnancy, 40.2±29.1. Regarding known-groups validity, we found a positive correlation between the LKQCHD score and age (ρ=0.268, P=0.042), and a significantly low LKQCHD score in the moderate/severe disease group (η2=0.131, P=0.021). Regarding convergent validity, the LKQCHD score was positively correlated with the total and subscale scores of the Resilience Assessment Tool (r=0.213 [P=0.109] and r=0.405 [P=0.002], respectively). Conclusions: We confirmed the validity of the Japanese version of the LKQCHD, concluding that patient education regarding long-term complications, prevention methods, heredity, pregnancy, and childbirth is needed.

Abstract
AIM To examine how children with sleep-disordered breathing express their own sleep through drawing. METHODS Children hospitalised for a sleep study in a sleep laboratory of a tertiary hospital were asked to draw a human figure and themselves while asleep. Characteristics of the two drawings were analysed and compared along with a descriptive analysis of some drawings. RESULTS Children with sleep-disordered breathing and an associated disorder, n = 34, age 5-11 years, participated in the study. The size of the human figure, the colours used, the orientation of the sheet, the type of drawing strokes and the objective quality of the drawing were comparable between the two drawings. On the sleep drawing, 71% of the children drew a bed, 15% drew themselves asleep, 19% represented snoring and 12% night elements. Sixty-two per cent of the children preferred the human drawing to the sleep drawing. A descriptive analysis of 12 drawings showed the influence of the associated disorder on the two drawings. CONCLUSION This study showed how the associated disease of children with sleep-disordered breathing infiltrated their imaginary life. The sleep drawing gave useful information about representation, fears and wishes in relation to the associated disease and the child's sleeping.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether a single educational session increased the level of knowledge and changed the prevalence of health risk behaviors in young people with congenital heart disease (CHD). STUDY DESIGN We conducted a longitudinal study of patients transferred to adult CHD care who received a single educational session (n = 201) at a tertiary care center. Their knowledge level and prevalence of health risk behaviors were assessed via the Leuven Knowledge Questionnaire CHD and the Health Behavior Scale CHD, respectively. A general linear model for longitudinal measurements was used to analyze the natural progression of patients' knowledge during a 27-month period and the effect of one educational session on outcomes. RESULTS Participating in an educational session resulted in a small-to-moderate, but significant, increase in total knowledge level and better understanding of deterioration symptoms, and rationale and frequency of follow-up; however, it did not improve patients' health behaviors. CONCLUSIONS This type of education did improve knowledge but did not improve the patients' tendency to engage in better health behaviors. Future studies should assess the effect of repetitive exposure to educational sessions dealing with CHD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Advances in overall management have led to an increasing number of adolescents with congenital heart disease reaching adulthood. This study aimed to evaluate the health-related quality of life in adolescents with heart disease, and examine its relationship with the adolescents' knowledge and understanding of their congenital heart disease, its severity, and its relationship to the degree of anxiety and depression, feeling of optimism and sense of coherence experienced by the adolescents together with their social support. METHODS AND RESULTS Adolescents with heart disease were recruited from an ambulatory setting at a tertiary centre. Patients completed self-report questionnaires including the Paediatric Quality of Life Inventory 3.0-Cardiac Module, a questionnaire assessing the adolescents' knowledge of their cardiac condition, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, Life Orientation Test-Revised, and Sense of Coherence-13, supplemented by clinical information provided by the attending cardiologists. A total of 114 patients aged 12-20 years were recruited over 15 months. In all, 98% of patients were in New York Heart Association class I. Their health-related quality of life was found to positively correlate with a low level of anxiety and depression (Pearson correlation, r = -0.57, p < 0.001), a good knowledge of their cardiac condition (r = 0.31, p < 0.01), feelings of optimism (r = 0.39, p < 0.001), adequate social support (r = 0.27, p < 0.01), and a strong sense of coherence (r = 0.24, p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Adolescents' knowledge and understanding of their cardiac abnormality together with an improved sense of well-being had a positive influence on their health-related quality of life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) have poor understanding of their heart condition, treatment and prevention of complications. To improve their level of health-related knowledge, a structured education program was implemented in the adult congenital heart disease program. This study aimed (a) to evaluate the level of knowledge of patients who received structured CHD education as compared to patients who did not receive this education; (b) to explore if the provision of structured education is an independent determinant of knowledge; and (c) to evaluate whether patients who received structured education reached the educational target (>80% correct answers). METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 317 patients were included: 226 in the education group, and 91 in the comparison group. Knowledge was assessed using the 'Leuven Knowledge Questionnaire for Congenital Heart Disease'. The mean total knowledge score in the education group (57%) was significantly higher as compared to the comparison group (43%) (p<0.001). However, only 24 patients (11%) in the education group reached the educational target of the program. After adjusting for patient's age, educational level and disease complexity, hierarchical multivariable linear regression analysis showed that the provision of structured CHD education was an independent determinant of higher levels of knowledge. CONCLUSION A structured education program was associated with a higher level of knowledge. However, the educational target for sufficient knowledge was reached in a very limited number of patients. Hence, continuous efforts in educating patients and developing alternative education methods are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Congenital heart disease is common yet poorly understood in childhood. We reviewed the understanding of older children and adolescents with the commonest congenital heart defect, namely, a small ventricular septal defect (VSD), through a questionnaire and/or their drawings of their abnormality. METHODS As part of a wider study, older children and adolescents with a small VSD were asked to draw a picture of their cardiac defect in addition to completing a questionnaire. RESULTS Twelve of an initial cohort of 20 participants, who were between the ages of 8 and 20 years, completed a drawing of their malformation. Further drawings were obtained from five additional participants recruited from a private practice over the next few years. There were almost equal number of male and female participants overall. Nearly all participants had a limited understanding of their cardiac abnormality as reflected by their drawings. Nevertheless none reported restricting their physical activity. CONCLUSION While most older children and adolescents did not seem to have a clear understanding of their small VSD, it did not appear to affect their daily activity. The participants placed a greater reliance on the information provided by their parents rather than their doctor, emphasizing the importance of informing both the parents and the patient.
