How individuals responded to their diagnosis and their altered physical status related to their activity levels , as did the degree of encouragement to exercise coming from family , friends , and professionals .
These findings can be connected to the theory of behavioral change developed by B and ura , known as social cognitive theory ( SCT ) .
SCT may be a useful framework for developing interventions to support patients with HF in undertaking and maintaining regular exercise patterns .
These were issues referred to in papers for the systematic review that appear to be particularly related to exercise adherence
OBJECTIVES Keeping physically active has been shown to bring positive outcomes for patients diagnosed with heart failure ( HF ) .
However , a number of individuals with this health problem do not undertake regular exercise .
A review of extant qualitative research was conducted to explore what it can tell us about barriers and enablers to physical activity among people with HF .
Impact of a home communication intervention for coronary artery bypass graft patients with ischemic heart failure on self-efficacy, coronary disease risk factor modification, and functioning.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of a home communication intervention ( HCI ) for ischemic heart failure Coronary Artery Bypass Graft ( CABG ) patients > /= 65 years of age on self-efficacy , coronary artery disease risk factor modification and functioning posthospitalization . DESIGN A r and omized clinical trial with repeated measures was used . SAMPLE A sub sample of ischemic heart failure CABG surgery patients ( n = 35 ) was drawn from the parent study of 180 CABG patients . RESULTS HCI participants ( n = 18 ) had significantly higher adjusted mean self-efficacy scores [ F(1 , 29 ) = 6.40 , P < .05 ] and adjusted mean levels of functioning ( physical , general health , mental , and vitality functioning ) compared with the routine care group ( n = 17 ) , using repeated measures analysis of covariance with baseline scores as covariates . There were also significant effects of time on bodily pain and role emotional functioning . Significantly higher exercise adherence ( t = 3.09 , P < .01 ) and lower reported stress ( t = 3.77 , P < .01 ) at 3 months after surgery was reported by HCI subjects . CONCLUSIONS Data from this pilot study can be used to strengthen the HCI intervention with more tailored strategies for vulnerable subgroups of CABG patients
