Transtheoretical Model's Impact on Cardiac Rehabilitation in Acute Myocardial Infarction Patients

Study Aim

This study uses the Transtheoretical Model to understand how it can improve cardiac rehabilitation in people who have had an acute myocardial infarction. We will measure changes in exercise capacity, self-efficacy, and social support after 3 months of rehabilitation.

This study investigates the effectiveness of a special program for people who have had a heart attack, known as acute myocardial infarction (AMI). It involves a group of 86 patients who are split into two groups. One group receives a new type of care that includes personalized exercise plans, education tailored to their stage of recovery, and ongoing support from a team of healthcare professionals. The other group receives standard care without the extra structured follow-up. This study aims to see if the new program improves heart and lung function, confidence in exercising, and support for exercise compared to traditional methods. Participants in the new program are provided with a home-based exercise plan and support through phone calls, social media, and online consultations for 12 weeks. Their progress is measured by testing how their heart and lungs work during exercise and by checking their confidence and social support for exercising. The study also looks at how often participants exercise each week and any changes in their exercise habits. The goal is to understand if this comprehensive approach can lead to better recovery outcomes for heart attack patients.

Treatment Groups

Group I

Experimental

Patients in the group received a trans-theoretical model (TTM)- based multidisciplinary cardiac rehabilitation program (TTMCR). One day before discharge, physicians, rehabilitation therapists, and nurses jointly developed exercise prescriptions for patients including: exercise frequency, intensity and duration. Nurses and rehabilitation therapists jointly provided patients with cardiac rehabilitation-related health education materials and exercise videos. Physicians recommended that patients use wearable monitoring devices during exercise. After discharge, nurses conducted telephone follow-up once a week for a total of 12 times. The follow-up content mainly included providing sports and medical integration guidance based on the patient's stage of change in exercise behavior.
