Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social support and psychological factors (i.e., depression) have been linked to negative outcomes, such as recurrence and mortality, following a cardiac event. Further, these constructs have been associated with health behaviors in both the general population and within samples of patients with cardiovascular disease. As suggested by a conceptual model, the purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between social support and health behaviors in individuals with cardiovascular disease, and the mediating roles adherence to cardiac rehabilitation (as measured by number of sessions completed) and depressive symptoms may play in this relationship. It was hypothesized that social support at the beginning of cardiac rehabilitation would be positively related to health behaviors 18 months after cardiac rehabilitation, and that adherence to cardiac rehabilitation and depressive symptoms at the end of cardiac rehabilitation would mediate this relationship. Participants (n=83) were recruited at the beginning of a cardiac rehabilitation program and completed questionnaires at Time 1 (beginning of their programs), Time 2 (end of their programs), and Time 3 (18 months following the end of their programs). Path analysis results did not support the hypothesized model as fitting these data. Further, parameter estimates of the path model indicated that both social support and adherence to cardiac rehabilitation were not related to any constructs within the model. Depressive symptoms were negatively related to health behaviors, confirming prior research. Results suggest that cardiac rehabilitation practitioners should identify individuals who are experiencing greater depressive symptoms following a cardiac event and promote intervention methods to address their heightened psychological distress. This approach would be complementary to the ultimate goal of cardiac rehabilitation-lifestyle modification to adhere to recommended health behaviors to reduce the likelihood of cardiac event recurrence and cardiac-related mortality.

This book was released on 2021-01-31 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because many patients reduce exercise following outpatient cardiac rehabilitation (CR), we developed an intervention to assist with the transition and evaluated its feasibility and preliminary efficacy using a one-group pretest–posttest design. Five CR patients were enrolled ~1 month prior to CR discharge and provided an activity tracker. Each week during CR they received a summary of their physical activity and steps. Following CR discharge, participants received an individualized report that included their physical activity and step history, information on specific features of the activity tracker, and encouraging messages from former CR patients for each of the next 6 weeks. Mixed model trajectory analyses were used to test the intervention effect separately for active minutes and steps modeling three study phases: pre-intervention (day activity tracking began to CR discharge), intervention (day following CR discharge to day when final report sent), and maintenance (day following the final report to ~1 month later). Activity tracking was successfully deployed and, with weekly reports following CR, may offset the usual decline in physical activity. When weekly reports ceased, a decline in steps/day occurred. A scaled-up intervention with a more rigorous study design with sufficient sample size can evaluate this approach further.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social support and exercise are widely known to effect outcomes in the cardiac client. Social support has been reported as influencing motivation for health behavior, including exercise. This study explored dimensions of social support within cardiac rehabilitation and perceived impact on participation and exercise self-efficacy. Structured by a 14-item interview guide, two focus group sessions of male participants generated qualitative data. Content analysis revealed staff peers, and the physical environment and context (situational influences) as the most often cited sources of social support influencing program participation and exercise self-efficacy. whereas support from professionals positively influenced participation early in the program, peer support prompted participants to plan and look forward to exercising beyond program completion. Interventions perceived to promote a safe environment were also perceived as social support.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the United States. One of the primary modifiable and preventable risks for CVD is physical inactivity. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) was developed to slow or reverse CVD progression via increased physical activity, but 30-50% of those who enroll in CR will dropout prematurely. Among those who complete CR, 50-70% discontinue regular physical activity following CR. This dissertation incorporated two related studies examining exercise adherence and maintenance among CR patients. The first study evaluated the degree to which specific health-related beliefs and attitudes (i.e., irrational health beliefs, health-related social support, hope, will to live) predict adherence to a CR exercise-based program. The second study evaluated the effect of pedometer tracking on exercise adherence among post-CR patients in a randomized study with control participants engaging in usual care. This study also investigated the moderating influence of health-related beliefs and attitudes on exercise and exercise-related outcomes (e.g., number of steps, 6-minute walk, blood pressure, body mass index) in the pedometer intervention. The current study included 60 CR patients (56.7% Caucasian, 65.1% male, mean age = 57.0 + 10.8) who participated in a 12-week CR program. Thirty-eight participants completed CR and were randomized to a 3-month pedometer tracking intervention (n = 18) or usual care control group (n = 20).

Download or read book Guidelines for Cardiac Rehabilitation and Secondary Prevention Programs written by AACVPR and published by Human Kinetics. This book was released on 2013-08-02 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guidelines for Cardiac Rehabilitation and Secondary Prevention Programs, Fifth Edition With Web Resource, covers the entire scope of practice for cardiac rehabilitation and secondary prevention (CR/SP) programs. This text was developed by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR) and parallels federal guidelines for cardiac rehabilitation programs. It contains information on promoting positive lifestyle behavior patterns, reducing risk factors for disease progression, and lessening the impact of cardiovascular disease on quality of life, morbidity, and mortality. The text has been updated and restructured, providing the most current models for designing and updating rehabilitation programs for patients and preventing second episodes. In addition to chapter revisions, there is new content on behavior modification, risk factors, and special populations. The chapter covering program administration has been completely rewritten to include new regulations and reimbursement standards as well as additional suggestions for new models for CR/SP. The most recent Core Competencies for Cardiac Rehabilitation and Secondary Prevention Professionals and the Core Components of Cardiac Rehabilitation/Secondary Prevention Programs have also been included in their entirety. More than 50 leaders in the field of CR/SP, cardiovascular risk reduction, reimbursement, and public policy have contributed the latest tools and information, enabling cardiac rehabilitation professionals to successfully start new programs or update and enhance existing ones. Key features of the fifth edition include the following: • A new web resource incorporates 24 questionnaires, charts, consent forms, protocols, records, checklists, and logs from the text that can be used when creating or assessing programs. • Highlighted guidelines in each chapter cover current issues and provide hints and methods for implementing treatment programs and helping patients stay on track. • Chapter objectives and summaries help readers quickly assess the topics covered and identify the most important points. There is strong evidence that participation in outpatient cardiac rehabilitation and secondary prevention programs decreases mortality and recurrent morbidity after a cardiac event. Guidelines for Cardiac Rehabilitation and Secondary Prevention Programs, Fifth Edition, offers procedures for providing patients with low-cost, high-quality programming, moving them toward personal responsibility for disease management and secondary prevention over a lifetime. This is the definitive resource for developing inpatient and outpatient cardiac rehabilitation programs.
