Key result
Higher video self-efficacy and fewer comorbidity barriers are linked to greater interest in telemedicine-CR.
Why the study?
Little is known regarding relationships among potential cardiac rehabilitation participants' perceived barriers, interest in telemedicine-delivered cardiac rehabilitation, and self-efficacy beliefs toward telemedicine use.
Are perceived barriers and self-efficacy associated with interest in telemedicine-delivered cardiac rehabilitation?

Are perceived barriers and self-efficacy associated with interest in telemedicine-delivered cardiac rehabilitation?
Effect estimate: rs = 0.510
p-value: p=0.044
Higher self-efficacy for video chat and fewer perceived comorbidity barriers are associated with greater interest in telemedicine-delivered cardiac rehabilitation.
May inform targeted telemedicine-CR outreach; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective confirmation before guiding practice.
BACKGROUND: Telemedicine-delivered cardiac rehabilitation (telemedicine-CR) provides an alternative pathway for patients who are unable to participate in conventional CR. Little is known regarding the relationships among potential participants' perceptions of barriers to CR participation, interest in telemedicine-CR, and self-efficacy beliefs toward the use of telemedicine. The purpose of this study was to identify if associations exist between these variables. METHODS: A quantitative, correlational survey study was conducted using the Cardiac Rehabilitation Barriers Scale and a survey examining interest in and self-efficacy for telemedicine technologies. Eighty-three patients were invited to participate. RESULTS: Twenty surveys (24%) were returned. Significant correlations were identified between interest in telemedicine-CR and self-efficacy beliefs for the use of live video links, rs(14) = .510, p = .044, and the Cardiac Rehabilitation Barriers Scale Comorbidity subscale, rs(18) = -.469, p = .037. CONCLUSIONS: Higher self-efficacy for the use of video chat and fewer perceived comorbidity barriers were associated with greater interest in telemedicine-CR.

Grover et al. (2019) conducted a cross-sectional in Cardiac rehabilitation (n=20). Self-efficacy for telemedicine and perceived comorbidity barriers was evaluated on Interest in telemedicine-delivered cardiac rehabilitation (rs = 0.510, p=0.044). Higher self-efficacy for live video links (rs=0.510, p=0.044) and fewer perceived comorbidity barriers (rs=-0.469, p=0.037) were associated with greater interest in telemedicine-CR.
