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.

Book excerpt: Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) participation is associated with significantly lower mortality and improved psychosocial well-being. However, women are less likely to participate than men. CR4HER was a single-blind, 3 parallel-arm, pragmatic, randomized controlled trial comparing CR program adherence, functional capacity, and health behaviors between women referred to mixed-sex, women-only, or home-based CR. The study occured between November 2009-July 2013. Low-risk patients with coronary artery disease were recruited from six sites in Ontario. Consenting participants completed a pre-program survey assessing health behaviors (physical activity, diet, medication adherence, and smoking), wore pedometers for 7 days, and clinical data were extracted from charts. Participants were referred to CR at one of 3 sites. After intake assessment, including a graded exercise stress test, eligible patients were randomized to supervised mixed-sex, supervised women-only, or home-based CR. Six months later, CR adherence and exit assessment data were ascertained, and participants were mailed follow-up surveys and pedometers. Among 264 consenting patients, 169 (64.0%) were eligible and randomized. Twenty-seven (16.0%) did not attend CR and 43 (25.4%) attended a different model than that to which they were randomized, with most women switching to a model other than home-based CR. Program adherence was moderate overall (54.4635.14%). Analysis of variance revealed no significant differences based on per protocol analysis (PP; p=.63), but as-treated, home-based participants attended significantly more than women-only (p

Download or read book Social Support and Health Behaviors in Cardiac Rehabilitation written by Jillian Mae Ricks Clark and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 56 pages. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this thesis was to better understand physical activity (PA) maintenance among patients who have completed cardiac rehabilitation (CR). Study 1: This study was a systematic review and meta-analysis of 19 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) testing PA and exercise maintenance interventions for adults who have completed CR. Descriptive synthesis of the studies combined with meta-analysis results provided evidence of increased PA among intervention groups compared with control groups at follow-up. Results of the meta-analysis found a significant difference in PA in the intervention groups compared to the control groups, via multiple exercise outcomes including exercise sessions/week (SMD = 0.20; 95% CI, 0.04 - 0.35), kcal/week (SMD = 0.59; 95% CI, 0.19 - 0.98), and daily steps (SMD = 2.14; 95% CI, 0.90 - 3.38). There is evidence to support the effectiveness of interventions aimed at maintaining PA and exercise among adults who have completed CR. Study 2: This study was a synthesis of qualitative studies examining factors affecting PA maintenance among individuals who have completed CR. Eight studies met the criteria for inclusion. Multiple factors were identified among participants, including self-efficacy and motivation, social support, support with the transition from supervised hospital or centre-based exercise to exercise in the community or home, perceived safety of the exercise program, and availability and accessibility of PA resources and opportunities. Examining qualitative literature suggests factors at the intrapersonal-, interpersonal-, organizational- and neighbourhood-level are important in supporting exercise maintenance after completion of CR. Results from this synthesis identified key areas for tailored program design, grounded in a social ecological approach. Study 3: This study was a secondary analysis of trial data examining predictors of participants' moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) 26 weeks after enrollment in a RCT of a PA maintenance intervention. Participants completed baseline questionnaires assessing social ecological, demographic, clinical, fitness, and behavioural variables. MVPA was assessed by accelerometer at baseline and 26 weeks later. Univariate analyses revealed nine significant baseline predictors of MVPA at 26 weeks including beliefs about exercise benefits, beliefs about exercise barriers, baseline MVPA, peak oxygen consumption, diabetes, age, sex, marital status, and work status. Multivariate analysis indicated that baseline MVPA was the only independent predictor of MVPA at 26 weeks. Given the pre-eminence of baseline MVPA, the regression analyses were re-run without baseline MVPA in the model. In that case, peak oxygen consumption became the only independent predictor of MVPA at 26 weeks. Results have implications for targeting intervention for PA maintenance in the unsupervised phase. Conclusion: The findings of this thesis provided insights into the influences on long-term PA among cardiac patients post-CR and the strategies which can support long-term PA. While there have been positive developments in understanding PA maintenance, there are important knowledge gaps that remain unaddressed. These knowledge gaps include the measurement, monitoring, and surveillance of PA behaviour and ways in which intervention research could be improved. Further research will be required to address these knowledge gaps and to build on the growing knowledge of effective PA interventions to support people with heart disease.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guidelines for Cardiac Rehabilitation Programs, Sixth Edition With Web Resource, presents the combined expertise of more than 50 leaders in the field of cardiac rehabilitation (CR), reimbursement, and public policy to empower professionals to successfully implement new CR programs or improve existing ones. Developed by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR), this guidebook offers procedures for providing patients with low-cost, high-quality programming that moves them toward a lifelong commitment to disease management and secondary prevention. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the principal cause of death worldwide. It is projected that by 2035, more than 130 million adults in the United States will have CVD. The challenge to CR professionals is to select, develop, and deliver appropriate rehabilitative and secondary prevention services to each patient tailored to their individual needs. Guidelines for Cardiac Rehabilitation Programs, Sixth Edition, is the definitive resource for developing inpatient and outpatient cardiac rehabilitation programs. The sixth edition of Guidelines for Cardiac Rehabilitation Programs equips professionals with current scientific and evidence-based models for designing and updating rehabilitation programs. Pedagogical aides such as chapter objectives, bottom line sections, summaries, and sidebars present technical information in an easy-to-follow format. Key features of the sixth edition include the following: A new chapter on physical activity and exercise that helps readers understand how to develop and implement exercise programs to CVD patients A new chapter on cardiac disease populations that offers readers a deeper understanding of CVD populations, including those with heart valve replacement or repair surgery, left ventricular assist devices, heart transplant, dysrhythmias, and/or peripheral artery disease Case studies and discussion questions that challenge readers to consider how concepts from the text apply to real-life scenarios An expanded web resource that includes ready-to-use forms, charts, checklists, and logs that are practical for daily use, as well as additional case studies and review questions Keeping up with change is a professional necessity and keeping up with the science is a professional responsibility. Guidelines for Cardiac Rehabilitation Programs, Sixth Edition, covers the entire scope of practice for CR programs and professionals, providing evidence-based information on promoting positive lifestyle behavior patterns, reducing risk factors for disease progression, and lessening the impact of CVD on quality of life, morbidity, and mortality. Note: The web resource is included with all new print books and some ebooks. For ebook formats that don’t provide access, the web resource is available separately.

Download or read book Immediate and Long term Effects of Exercise Rehabilitation on Daily Physical Activity of Patients with Cardiopulmonary Disorders written by Ailar Ramadi and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is well known that there is an inverse relationship between physical activity (PA) and mortality in patients with cardiopulmonary disorders. Consequently, PA is considered the core component of cardiopulmonary rehabilitation programs. Despite the health benefits, the adherence to regular PA following completion of the programs seems challenging. The rehabilitation delivery model has been proposed as a potential factor that might influence participants' long-term PA adherence. Thus, detailed investigation on the PA behavior of cardiopulmonary patients as they progress through different exercise rehabilitation programs from entry to completion and following-up seems warranted. The purpose of this thesis was to study the immediate and long-term impact of different exercise rehabilitation programs on daily PA and exercise capacity in patients with cardiopulmonary disorders. The first study used a multi-sensor device to examine the immediate impact of an exercise rehabilitation program on daily PA of cardiopulmonary patients. At the end of the program participants improved their exercise capacity and demonstrated a PA behavior change at the lower end of the PA continuum. Indeed they spent less time sedentary and increased the time spent in light PA. However, the observed improvements in PA and exercise capacity were not related. The second study used a multi-sensor device to compare the long-term impact of a fast-track versus traditional center-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) on the PA of coronary artery disease (CAD) patients 6 months following CR entry. The key finding from this study was that participation in CR programs did not result in long-term PA behavior change irrespective of the delivery model. Although participants in both traditional and fast-track CR had higher exercise capacity at 6 months following CR entry, their overall daily PA was not significantly different from what was recorded at baseline. Our third study compared the long-term effectiveness of home versus center-based CR on sustainability of exercise capacity changes 1 year after completing the CR program. The key finding from this study was that participants were relatively successful in maintaining their achieved gains in exercise capacity for at least 1 year post-CR, independent of CR venue. Although exercise capacity decreased in center-based group from CR completion to 1 year follow-up, the observed decline was clinically insignificant. At the 1 year follow-up, exercise capacity was significantly higher than the baseline values in both groups. The major findings from the three studies in this thesis were that 1) participation in exercise rehabilitation program appears to improve habitual PA at the end of the program; 2) following removal from the program participants resume their baseline PA level despite maintaining the achieved gains in the exercise capacity regardless of the program delivery model. Combined these findings may imply that an increase in exercise capacity alone may not be sufficient to change the habitual sedentary lifestyle. Thus, in order to improve exercise capacity and PA behavior, they need to be targeted independently. CR participants may benefit from structured strategies which promote long-term PA adherence in addition to facilitating exercise capacity improvement. Considering the entire spectrum of PA from sedentary behavior to spontaneous light intensity PA in addition to moderate-vigorous PA (MVPA) is imperative when promoting the PA behavior change. An extensive and accurate assessment of daily PA upon CR entry could provide clinicians with valuable information on the best aspect to target in the PA spectrum and to customize programs to participants' needs and abilities.
