چکیده

Background: As lifestyle adherence and risk factor management following completion of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) have been shown to be problematic, we developed a brief self-regulation lifestyle programme for post-CR patients. Design: Randomized-controlled trial. Methods: Following completion of CR 210 patients were randomized to receive either a lifestyle maintenance programme (n1⁄4 112) or standard care (n1⁄4 98). The programme was based on self-regulation principles and consisted of a motivational interview, seven group sessions, and home assignments. Risk factors and health behaviours were assessed at baseline (end of CR) and 6 months thereafter. Results: ANCOVAs showed a significant effect of the lifestyle programme after 6 months on blood pressure, waist circumference, and exercise behaviour. Conclusion: This trial indicates that a relatively brief intervention based on self-regulation theory is capable of instigating and maintaining beneficial changes in lifestyle and risk factors after CR.

A large body of empirical research shows that psychosocial risk factors (PSRFs) such as low socio-economic status, social isolation, stress, type-D personality, depression and anxiety increase the risk of incident coronary heart disease (CHD) and also contribute to poorer health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and prognosis in patients with establishedCHD. PSRFs may also act as barriers to life...
