What this trial studies
This study focuses on enhancing long-term physical activity adherence among patients who have experienced a myocardial infarction. It implements a therapeutic educational program in the third phase of cardiac rehabilitation, which includes a partnership between patients and caregivers, as well as teleconsultations and remote education workshops. The program aims to motivate patients to maintain at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity weekly. Various self-assessment questionnaires will be administered to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older who have completed phase 2 cardiac rehabilitation for myocardial infarction and can communicate effectively in French.
Not a fit: Patients with severe comorbidities, unstable angina, or contraindications to physical activity may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could significantly improve the long-term physical activity levels and overall health outcomes for coronary patients.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown positive outcomes with similar educational and motivational interventions in cardiac rehabilitation, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
