Protocol in Reeducation Occupational Therapist in Coronary Patients

The quality of life, linked to physical, social and mental performance in people with coronary heart disease represents the primary goals in terms of rehabilitation. This is often developed to meet the expected performance standard in order to give the person effective autonomy. However, is the occupational balance always evaluated? and this management adapted? Does occupational therapist, expert in autonomy and independence in multiple illnesses and disabilities, has a major role to play in cardiac rehabilitation? This area of expertise and the application of occupational therapy to coronary patients seems appropriate, if not necessary. However, there are few scientific studies on the need to include occupational therapy within cardiac rehabilitation protocols.

About this study

The occupational therapy goals are in line with the theoretical objectives of coronary rehabilitation. At present, there is a lack of data on the benefits of coronary occupational therapy rehabilitation.

Goals : Evaluation of the quality of life of coronary heart patients who have benefited from cardiac rehabilitation optimized by secondary occupational therapy sessions:

Evaluation of aerobic and anaerobic performance of coronary heart patients who have benefited from cardiac rehabilitation optimized by occupational therapy sessions.

Evaluation of aerobic and anaerobic performance of coronary heart patients who have benefited from cardiac rehabilitation optimized by occupational therapy sessions.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Inclusion criteria

  • Coronary artery disease
  • Included in the cardiac rehabilitation protocol in Saint Etienne university hospital

Exclusion criteria

  • Patients who not perform all sessions of the cardiac rehabilitation protocol

Treatment and study plan

cardiac rehabilitation protocol without occupational therapist

Other

cardiac rehabilitation protocol without occupational therapist will be performed (usual practice before January 2021).

cardiac rehabilitation protocol with occupational therapist

Other

This intervention (occupational therapist) have been added since 2021 for all patients who need a cardiac rehabilitation protocol.

Occupational therapy is scheduled with sessions 3 times a week for 1 month.

Primary outcomes

  1. Short Form (SF-36) questionnaire score

    Time frame: week 5

    The SF-36 is a self-questionnaire to assess the quality of life and contains 36 items with minimum score 0 (bad quality life) and maximum score at 100 (good quality life).

    Done one week after the end of cardiac rehabilitation protocol

Secondary outcomes

  1. Strength of biceps muscle (Kg)

    Time frame: week 5

    Measured by handgrip

    Done one week after the end of cardiac rehabilitation protocol

Other outcomes

  1. 6 minutes walk test (TM6)

    Time frame: week 5

    Measured by the distance in metres at the walking time of 6 minutes.

    Done one week after the end of cardiac rehabilitation protocol
