Implication

Early role resumption may deter cardiac rehabilitation attendance; leaves open whether attendance improves maintenance behaviors.

Structured PICO

Do demographic and psychosocial factors influence cardiac rehabilitation attendance, and does attendance improve health maintenance behaviors in patients post-MI or CABG?

P
Population
304 consecutive consenting patients discharged following acute myocardial infarction and/or coronary artery bypass graft surgery from a large tertiary care centre in western Canada.
I
Intervention
Cardiac rehabilitation attendance
C
Comparator
Non-attendance to cardiac rehabilitation
O
Outcome
Jenkins self-efficacy expectation scales, activity checklists of behaviour performance for maintaining health and role resumption, modified version of the self-motivation inventory, and the shortened social support scalepatient reported

Early resumption of role-related activities reduces the likelihood of attending cardiac rehabilitation, whereas attendance is associated with enhanced secondary prevention behaviors.
