Why the study?

Does improved self-efficacy improve cardiovascular lifestyle in patients with vascular diseases?

Key Points

To determine whether changes in self-efficacy are associated with cardiovascular lifestyle improvements among patients with clinical manifestations of vascular diseases.
Conducted an observational cohort study of 125 patients referred for cerebrovascular disease, coronary heart disease, or peripheral arterial disease participating in a 1-year self-management intervention.
Assessed self-efficacy and lifestyle questionnaires at baseline and 1-year follow-up using logistic regression to evaluate changes in exercise, diet, smoking, and alcohol habits.
Improved self-efficacy was significantly associated with enhanced adherence to guidelines for physical activity (OR 3.5, 95% CI 1.0–11.0) and food choices (B 0.15, 95% CI 0.00–0.31).
No significant associations were observed between improvements in self-efficacy and adherence to guidelines for smoking cessation or alcohol consumption.

Structured PICO

Does improved self-efficacy improve cardiovascular lifestyle in patients with vascular diseases?

Population

125 patients recently referred for cerebrovascular disease, coronary heart disease, or peripheral arterial disease

Intervention

1-year self-management intervention (assessing change in self-efficacy)

Outcome

Cardiovascular lifestyle (physical activity, smoking behavior, alcohol consumption, and food choices) at 1 yearpatient reported
