What this trial studies

This study develops and evaluates a web-based nursing intervention aimed at increasing physical activity among older adults aged 65 and older who have coronary heart disease. It explores the needs of these individuals regarding such an intervention and assesses its acceptability and feasibility. The study also examines the preliminary effects of the intervention on participants' physical activity levels and quality of life, as well as their qualitative experiences. By leveraging the growing internet usage among older adults, the intervention aims to provide necessary support through a trusted healthcare professional.
