| Sumario: | Introduction: Cardiac rehabilitation and patient education are
the two parallel components in the management of coronary
heart disease. Although, it is recommended strongly to join an
outpatient cardiac rehabilitation program, the enrollment rates are
always low. The role of structured patient education in increasing
the enrollment in an outpatient cardiac rehabilitation program
and its impact on the disability profile of conservatively treated
medically stable postmyocardial infarction individuals, after joining
and completing the rehabilitation program has not been studied.
Aim: To study the impact of structured patient education and
outpatient cardiac rehabilitation program on the disability profile
of conservatively treated medically stable postmyocardial
infarction individuals.
Materials and Methods: The study is a mixed method design
and will be conducted in two steps. Step 1: It is a qualitative
study in which a structured patient education program will
be developed based on the framework given by the working
Group of Exercise Rehabilitation and Sports (GERS). Step 2:
Implementation of the developed program and an outpatient
cardiac rehabilitation program in an open-label non randomised
clinical trial.
Conclusion: The findings of this study will evaluate the need
for the development of structured patient education programs
for coronary artery disease patients, which may increase the
enrollment rates in outpatient cardiac rehabilitation programs
and thereby, reducing their disability. |
