What this trial studies
This intervention focuses on providing a multidisciplinary primary care approach centered around a therapeutic garden to improve the health and well-being of patients suffering from cardio-neurovascular conditions. It aims to assess the acceptability of this innovative method among patients and healthcare providers involved in the intervention. The program targets individuals with specific cardiovascular diseases and aims to enhance their quality of life through preventive care strategies. The intervention is designed to be accessible to patients living within a 20 km radius of designated locations.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults over 18 years old living near Gap, Laragne-Montéglin, Veynes, and Clermont-Ferrand who have specific cardiovascular conditions.
Not a fit: Patients with advanced heart failure (NYHA Class III and IV), cognitive impairments, or those unable to walk independently may not benefit from this intervention.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this intervention could improve patient engagement and health outcomes for those with cardiovascular diseases.
How similar studies have performed: While the use of therapeutic gardens in healthcare is gaining interest, this specific multidisciplinary approach is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in similar contexts.
