Implication

Compliance with home exercise declines after MI discharge; leaves open whether self-motivation reliably predicts long-term adherence.

Key Points

This study aims to evaluate the exercise compliance of myocardial infarction patients after hospital discharge and its relationship to self-motivation.
35 myocardial infarction patients completed a Self-Motivation Inventory and an Exercise Compliance Questionnaire.
28 patients returned the questionnaires, with 25 reporting exercise compliance at an initial rate of 89%.
Follow-up questionnaires were sent to compliant patients, with 17 responding after six months.
25 of 28 patients initially reported exercising, achieving a compliance rate of 89%.
After six months, 14 of 17 responders maintained exercise, reflecting 82% compliance of the follow-up group and 49% of the original sample.
Mean self-motivation was determined to be moderate and consistent among participants.

Does self-motivation relate to compliance with prescribed home exercise programs in patients following acute MI?

Population

Intervention

Home exercise programs (assessed via Self-Motivation Inventory and Exercise Compliance Questionnaire)

Outcome

Compliance with prescribed home exercise programs and its relation to self-motivationpatient reported

Patients discharged after acute MI show moderate and consistent self-motivation, with about half maintaining compliance to home exercise programs at 6 months.
