Sponsor's own description
The goal of this intervention is translate current behaviour change in to community cardiac rehabilitation programmes for people living beyond a heart attack. The main question it aims to answer is whether adding a lifestyle change programme promoted maintenance of physical activity changes will be maintained following a cardiac rehabilitation programme. The problem Guidelines recommend that coronary heart disease patients should be offered cardiac rehabilitation which includes exercise programmes, education, and ongoing support within both clinical and community settings. Cardiac rehabilitation programmes reduce the risk of death and illness, but it is likely that patients will stop exercising without enough support. New was to encourage coronary heart disease patients to stay active both during and after taking part in cardiac rehabilitation programmes are needed. The project Behaviour change techniques can encourage patients to stay active for longer. The aim of this project is to see whether behaviour change can encourage coronary heart disease patients taking part in community-based cardiac rehabilitation programmes to stay active for longer compared with patients receiving the standard cardiac rehabilitation programme. The benefits It is hoped that these methods will encourage more cardiac rehabilitation patients to stay physically active for longer and improve health. The results will provide more evidence on using behavioural change techniques in cardiac rehabilitation programmes and have the potential to benefit many patients with coronary heart disease throughout Northern Ireland and the rest of the United Kingdom.
