Brief Summary: Maintaining exercise participation among patients who have completed cardiac rehabilitation is integral to secondary prevention of coronary events and cardiac re-hospitalization To promote exercise maintenance after completion of a 12 week Phase II rehabilitation program we propose to offer a theoretically-based intervention that we have used successfully to promote exercise among older primary-care patients This program Maintenance Counseling includes brief advice from the Cardiac Rehabilitation case manager at Phase II program discharge followed by telephone-counseling based on the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change and Social Cognitive Theory Health educators will provide the telephone-based intervention over 6 months Using a randomized controlled design 180 patients will be assigned to Maintenance Counseling or Brief Advice plus Contact Control Outcome assessments will include an exercise tolerance test baselinepost-rehabilitation and 6 months self-reported exercise participation motivational readiness for exercise and objective activity monitoring at baseline 6 12 and 18 months
Detailed Description: Maintaining exercise participation among patients who have completed cardiac rehabilitation is integral to secondary prevention of coronary events and cardiac re-hospitalization Patients in Phase II cardiac rehabilitation programs a majority being older adults participate in regular supervised exercise during the program however long-term adherence to exercise is poor with only 30 reporting regular exercise at 12 month follow-ups To promote exercise maintenance after completion of a 12 week Phase II rehabilitation program we propose to offer a theoretically-based intervention that we have used successfully to promote exercise among older primary-care patients This program Maintenance Counseling includes brief advice from the Cardiac Rehabilitation case manager at Phase II program discharge followed by telephone-counseling based on the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change and Social Cognitive Theory Health educators will provide the telephone-based intervention over 6 months Using a randomized controlled design 180 patients will be assigned to Maintenance Counseling or Brief Advice plus Contact Control Outcome assessments will include an exercise tolerance test baselinepost-rehabilitation and 6 months self-reported exercise participation motivational readiness for exercise and objective activity monitoring at baseline 6 12 and 18 months These data will help to identify whether telephone-based exercise counseling is an effective strategy for sustaining regular exercise and fitness among cardiac rehabilitation patients thereby contributing to secondary prevention of coronary heart disease
