Overview
The primary objective of this two-year research project is to investigate the status of activity fear, its related factors, and prognosis in cardiac surgery patients in the first year. Subsequently, the study aims to develop a comprehensive intervention strategy combining exercise with cognitive-behavioral approaches tailored for cardiac surgery patients and assess the effectiveness of this intervention on activity fear, prognosis, and quality of life in the second year.
Detailed description
The study uses a convenient sampling method, focusing on patients undergoing cardiac surgery in the cardiac surgery ward of the Central Medical Center. The first-year research adopts a descriptive, correlational, and repeated-measures design, while the second-year research employs an experimental design. Participants are randomly assigned to either the experimental or control group. The experimental group undergoes a 12-week multidimensional interventions, while the control group receives no intervention. Data are collected through structured questionnaires. Data collection occurs at discharge, two weeks post-discharge, six weeks, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks.
Interventions
- Behavioral the multidimensional interventions
The study participants will receive cognitive behavior therapy intervention for six weeks, one session per week, 45 minutes each time, and exercise training for twelve weeks, twice sessions per week, 60 minutes each time.
Primary outcome measures
- kinesiophobia [Time frame: 1 day discharge, two weeks post-discharge, six weeks, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks.]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) [Time frame: 1 day discharge, two weeks post-discharge, six weeks, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks.]
- Taiwan Brief Version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire (WHOQOL-BREF) [Time frame: 1 day discharge, two weeks post-discharge, six weeks, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks.]
