Abstract | ||
Background: Coronary artery disease is the umbrella term for a spectrum of diseases caused by myocardial ischemia decreasing blood supply to the heart muscle. Self-efficacy is a vital modifiable personal resource affecting rehabilitation adherence, and disease outcomes such as health-related quality of life among people with cardiovascular disease. Aim: To evaluate the effect of digital cardiac rehabilitation program on self efficacy of patients with coronary artery diseases. Subjects and method: Design: A quasi-experimental research design was used. Setting: The study was conducted at the cardiology unit and outpatients’ clinics at El Nasr Insurance Hospital in Hehwan city. Subjects: A Purposive sample of (100) adult patients diagnosed with coronary artery disease, was selected and equally divided into study & control groups, (50) patients for each one. Tools for data collection: It included 1) a structured interviewing questionnaire, 2) cardiac self-efficacy scale, and 3) cardiac exercise self-efficacy scale. Results: Majority of the patients in the study group had satisfactory knowledge level , had high cardiac self efficacy, and practice exercise self efficacy post rehabilitation program implementation. Conclusion: There was a statistically significant difference between the study and control groups concerning knowledge, cardiac self efficacy, and cardiac exercise self-efficacy post, and follow-up rehabilitation program implementation. The results of the current study supported the hypothesis that digital cardiac rehabilitation programs affect positively patients’ knowledge and cardiac self-efficacy. Recommendations: Future researches are required to develop and refine interventions to improve patient's compliance to treatment and prevent further deterioration of cardiac self-efficacy | ||
