Summary

Cardiac rehabilitation patients reported satisfaction with caring and individualized approaches. However, program satisfaction did not correlate with success in adopting a healthy cardiac lifestyle one year post-program.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Health Psychology

Background:

  • Cardiac rehabilitation programs aim to improve patient outcomes and lifestyle adherence.
  • Long-term success in lifestyle modification after cardiac rehabilitation requires further investigation.
  • Patient satisfaction is a key metric for evaluating healthcare program effectiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the relationship between lifestyle changes and satisfaction with cardiac rehabilitation.
  • To identify factors influencing patient satisfaction in cardiac rehabilitation programs.
  • To assess long-term adherence to recommended cardiac lifestyles one year post-rehabilitation.

Main Methods:

  • A descriptive, correlational study design was employed.
  • Participants completed the Cardiac Lifestyle Questionnaire (CLQ) and Programme Satisfaction Questionnaire (PSQ).
  • Data were collected one year after program completion, with 72 participants returning questionnaires.

Main Results:

  • Successful lifestyle changes were observed in exercise, tobacco cessation, alcohol moderation, and weight management.
  • Areas for improvement included diet, stress management, and hypertension control.
  • Participant feedback highlighted 'caring' and 'individualized' approaches as highly valued aspects of the program.
  • Discriminant analysis did not find a significant link between program satisfaction and cardiac lifestyle success.

Conclusions:

  • While patients value personalized and compassionate care in cardiac rehabilitation, program satisfaction does not predict long-term lifestyle success.
  • Future cardiac rehabilitation programs should focus on enhancing 'caring' and 'individualized' elements.
  • Further research is needed to understand and improve long-term lifestyle adherence post-cardiac rehabilitation.
