Activity-based Training After Myocardial Infarction

Cardiovascular diseases cause high morbidity and mortality, resulting in disability, medical complications and comorbidities. Patients who have MI experience motor, cognitive and sensory impairments, reduced quality of life and burdened the national economy. Cardiac rehabilitation aims to optimize patients' health services, reduce physical and psychological effects and increase activity return performance. The rehabilitation process includes physical activities and patient education starting in the early stages after MI. Psychosocial support and occupational therapy can accelerate patients' recovery and return to daily activities. Since there are inadequacies in the literature on this subject, this study aims to provide an effective educational intervention for patients who have MI and to examine a safe return to activity.

Treatment and study plan

Patient Education

Other

Patient education and counseling are offered one-on-one at the bedside during discharge and are also provided in the second week after discharge in an outpatient clinic setting.

Primary outcomes

  1. Canadian Occupational Performance Measure

    Time frame: The evaluation were completed after discharge. The exact time is post-operative 2nd week, 3th month and 6th month.

    The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure is an evidence-based outcome measure designed to capture a client's self-perception of performance in everyday living, over time.

  2. Katz Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living

    Time frame: The evaluation were completed after discharge. The exact time is post-operative 2nd week, 3th month and 6th month.

    The Katz Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living, commonly referred to as the Katz ADL, is the most appropriate instrument to assess functional status as a measurement of the client's ability to perform activities of daily living independently.

  3. Lawton Brody Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale

    Time frame: The evaluation were completed after discharge. The exact time is post-operative 2nd week, 3th month and 6th month.

    The Lawton Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale (IADL) is an appropriate instrument to assess independent living skills. These skills are considered more complex than the basic activities of daily living as measured by the Katz Index of ADLs.
