Application of the Health Action Process Approach Model Program to Patients With Heart Attacks

This research is conducted to determine whether the nurse-led Health Action Process Approach Model-based Cardiac Rehabilitation Program is effective in patients with myocardial infarction. The population of the study will consist of coronary angiography patients with myocardial infarction in the cardiology service of a state hospital. In this study, which is planned as a randomized controlled experimental model, 35 intervention and 35 control groups will be studied. As data collection tools; patient identification form, Laboratory Investigations Monitoring Form, Perceived Stress Scale, Health Action Process Approach Based Participant Assessment Form, Health Action Process Approach Based Myocardial Infarction Risk Factors Participant Assessment Form Functional Capacity Assessment Form, Myocardial Infarction Dimensional Assessment Scale and Turkish Modified Morisky Scale will be used. Health Action Process Approach Modeled Cardiac Rehabilitation Program will be applied to the intervention group and no intervention will be applied to the control group. Data will be collected with data collection tools at 6, 12, 24 weeks. SPSS 25.0 (Stastical Package for Social Science) package program will be used for statistical analysis of the data. Descriptive statistics will be given as number, percentage, mean, standard deviation and median values. The normal distribution of the data of numerical variables will be evaluated by Shapiro Wilk test. Two group comparisons will be made with independent two sample t-test for normally distributed variables and with Mann-Whitney U test for variables that do not show normal distribution. Comparisons of the groups' pre-test, week 6, week 18 and week 24 scale scores will be made with two-way analysis of variance in repeated measures from general linear models.

Treatment and study plan

Cardiac Rehabilitation Program Based on Health Action Process Approach Model

Behavioral

The intervention program will start in the hospital setting and continue at home. A work schedule will be created with each individual in intervention group 1 by determining the times when they are available separately. Individuals are planned to receive 60-minute home visits once a week. In the following weeks, care interventions such as home visits, training, counseling and monitoring will be organized according to the specific needs and requirements of each individual. In the face-to-face preparation phase, the patient's health needs will be identified, health status will be assessed, daily activities will be reviewed, incompatibility between activity levels and recommended exercise guidelines will be examined, and individualized exercise goals and a behavior-specific exercise program will be created for behavioral changes. In the intervention phase, the parts that the patient lacks will be determined and the trainings needed will be given.

Primary outcomes

Changes in treatment compliance of people participating in the Health Action Process Approach Model-based Cardiac Rehabilitation Program

Time frame: At the beginning of the study (week 0), week 6, week 12 and week 24

It was developed by Morisky et al. in 1986. It is a 6-item scale used to measure medication compliance in patients.

Secondary outcomes

Changes in the Quality of Life of People Participating in a Cardiac Rehabilitation Program Based on the Health Action Process Approach Model

Time frame: At the beginning of the study (week 0), week 6, week 12 and week 24

Developed in 2002 by Thompson et al, this scale is specific for patients with myocardial infarction. It is a 35-item scale used to measure quality of life in patients.
