What is the status of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) knowledge, attitudes, and practice among patients with heart failure (HF) and cardiology healthcare providers?
This study identifies significant gaps in knowledge and unfavorable attitudes toward cardiac rehabilitation among HF patients and healthcare providers, indicating a need for improved education.
Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) typically consists of physical activity supplemented with lifestyle modifications, including smoking cessation, adherence to a healthful diet, stress management, medication adherence management, risk factor reduction, psychosocial support, and education [1].Because CR involves important changes in lifestyle and physical activity, self-management is central to successful CR [2].Proper knowledge regarding, and attitudes toward, CR are key to effective self-management [3].Consequently, identifying knowledge gaps, misconceptions, and misunderstandings regarding CR could improve attitudes and practice.Therefore, this study examined CR knowledge, attitudes, and practice (KAP) among patients with HF and cardiology healthcare providers.What is the scientific question being addressed?What is the status of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) knowledge, attitudes, and practice among patients with heart failure (HF) and cardiology healthcare providers?What is the main novel finding?Patients with HF had poor CR knowledge, unfavorable attitudes, and active practice, whereas cardiology healthcare providers had good CR knowledge, unfavorable attitudes, and active practice.This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from February to May of 2023, and enrolled patients with HF and cardiology healthcare providers.The study was approved by the ethics committee of the Affiliated
