The Influence of Increasing Awareness of Cardiac Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) Surgery to Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR) on Actual Participation Rates and; Patients' Related Barriers to CR Programs Participation
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Increasing awareness to cardiac rehabilitation programs for Coronary Artery Disease. Completed, enrolled 1,024 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The main aim of the study is to determine the effectiveness of an educational intervention designed to increase attendance of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) patients at Cardiac Rehabilitation Programs (CRPs) on actual CRP participation rate and; examine patient-related factors (demographic, health, psychosocial, awareness) influencing patients' attendance at CRPs. We hypothesized that the proportion of CABG patients participating in CRPs will increase significantly to 20-30% following the educational intervention employed.
