Cardiac Rehabilitation in Coronary Artery Diseases
Condition: Have a Diagnosis of Coronary Artery Disease
MeSH terms: Coronary Artery Disease; Myocardial Ischemia; Coronary Disease
Study type: Interventional

Summary: 
      Cardiac rehabilitation is approaches that focus on accelerating the recovery process of
      patients after a cardiac event, improving their physical, psychological and social
      conditions, and controlling risk factors. Cardiac rehabilitation is known to be an effective
      and cost-effective approach in the secondary prevention of cardiovascular diseases, most of
      which are caused by preventable risks. Ischemic heart diseases, one of the cardiovascular
      diseases, are responsible for 16% of total deaths in the world and have increased
      significantly since 2000, causing 8.9 million deaths in 2019.

      When coronary artery diseases cannot be prevented, the basic approach should be to ensure the
      individual's compliance with treatment and healthy lifestyle behaviors, and to increase the
      quality of life and life span.

      For this reason, the aim of the study is to examine the effects of technology-based education
      structured according to the health promotion model in cardiac rehabilitation on healthy
      lifestyle behaviors, health fatalism and risk knowledge level.

      Question 1. Does technology-based education structured according to the health promotion
      model affect the healthy lifestyle behaviors score? Question 2. Does technology-based
      education structured according to the health promotion model affect the health fatalism
      score? Question 3. Does technology-based education structured according to the health
      promotion model affect the cardiovascular disease risk factors knowledge level score?
    


Intervention name(s): Technology-based training structured according to the Health Promotion Model
Intervention type(s): Other
Intervention description(s): Experimental group: A video recording was created with a total of 6 zoom applications to be shared with the patients. The content of the video recordings consists of a presentation accompanied by a slide show with open-ended questions prepared by considering the basic concepts of the trainings and the Health Promotion Model. Video recordings, each of which lasted approximately 15-25 minutes, were shared with patients once a week for a total of 6 weeks via WhatsApp. After each video, patients were given three days to watch the video recordings and create their own responses. After this three-day period, the researcher called the patients with whom he shared the content and gave counseling for 10-15 minutes and received feedback. Follow-up was done in the second 6-week period. During the monitoring process, two reminder interviews were made over the phone, with an interval of 2 weeks, for reminder and counseling, and the post-test data were collected at the end of the monitoring period.
