Treatment and study plan

cardiac rehabilitation support program

Other

First of all, a preliminary interview was made with the patients in the experimental group, and their information needs were evaluated individually. Which trainings he should receive and his priorities were determined with the patient. After the training requirements were determined, the general introduction of the website was made and they were allowed to register. Experimental group patients received both training on the website and counseling over the phone for 12 weeks after they started working. A total of 3 phone calls were made with the patients in the first week, 4th and 8th weeks. The interviews lasted an average of 20 minutes. In each phone call, patients were informed and reminded. When patients needed, an average of 2-3 more phone calls were made and information was provided on the subjects they needed.

Primary outcomes

  1. Comparison of the total and sub-dimension total scores of the healthy lifestyle behaviors scale of the patients in the experimental and control groups

    Time frame: twelve weeks

    Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale II: The scale has 52 items and six factors.The lowest score obtained from the scale is 52, and the highest score is 208.Healthy lifestyle behaviors score is obtained from the overall score of the scale.High scores obtained from the scale indicate a high level of healthy lifestyle behaviors.

  2. Comparison of experimental and control group patients' compliance with medication adherence

    Time frame: twelve weeks

    Medication Adherence Questions:

    There are three questions in order to evaluate the patients' compliance with drug therapy. These; It consists of questions such as "Do you have problems remembering to take your medicine regularly, do you stop taking your medicine without your doctor's advice when your complaints subside/end, if you don't feel well when you take your medicine (side effects etc.) do you stop taking your medicine?"

  3. Comparison of general quality of life scale index and general quality of life scale vas scores of experimental and control group patients

    Time frame: twelve weeks

    EQ-5D General Quality of Life Scale: It was developed by the Western European Quality of Life Research Society. It consists of five dimensions. In these five dimensions; mobility and walking or walking, doing daily activities with normal daily activities, feeling of pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression and feeling anxious, etc. are evaluated. For the answers given to each dimension, there is no problem, there is some problem, and major problem options are included. A score between -0.59 and 1 is calculated from the five dimensions of the scale. A value of 0 is death, a value of 1 is perfect health, negative values are unconscious and bedridden, etc. points to the results. The scale also includes an easily understandable version of the rated Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Here, participants rate their overall health status from 0 to 100. A score of 100 represents the best health imaginable, while 0 represents the worst.

  4. Comparison of international physical activity questionnaire total scores and physical activity levels of experimental and control group patients

    Time frame: twelve weeks

    International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form: In the scale, walking for at least 10 minutes in the last 7 days, moderate-intensity and intense activities, and sedentary time spent in an average day are asked and metabolic equivalent (MET) scores are calculated. Total time (minutes) and frequency (days) are required to calculate the score. Results are evaluated in three categories: low level, intermediate level and high level. The low level is evaluated as <600 MET, the intermediate level 600-3000 MET, and the high level >3000 MET. The acceptable value in terms of health is expressed as intermediate level, ie 600-3000 MET.

  5. Comparison of body mass index values of experimental and control group patients

    Time frame: twelve weeks

    The formula used to calculate the body mass index is as follows: height (cm)/weight (kg)*weight (kg). After calculating the body mass index of each patient according to this formula, the data were compared.

  6. Comparison of LDL values of experimental and control group patients

    Time frame: twelve weeks

  7. Comparison of smoking status of experimental and control group patients

    Time frame: twelve weeks

    In the patient information form, patients were asked whether they smoked or not.

  8. Post-test Computer System Usability Questionaire Short Version total and sub-dimension scores of the experimental group patients

    Time frame: twelve weeks

    Availability of a computer system; system usefulness (items 1-6), information quality (items 7-9), and interface dimensions (items 10-12) with 13 items. Each item is scored as 1 (strongly agree) and 7 (strongly disagree). The scale was set up in reverse, and low scores indicate good usability of the system.

  9. Comparison of triglyceride values of experimental and control group patients

    Time frame: twelve weeks
