Key result
Phase III cardiac rehabilitation yields overall patient satisfaction, driven by exercise and improved confidence.
Why the study?
Are patients satisfied with a phase III cardiac rehabilitation programme?
Cross-Sectional
Are patients satisfied with a phase III cardiac rehabilitation programme?
Patients report high satisfaction and improved confidence from phase III cardiac rehabilitation, particularly the exercise component, though individualization of care remains an area for improvement.
Supports incorporating patient feedback into phase III cardiac rehabilitation; leaves open prospective trials on individualization and outcomes.
This questionnaire study aimed to identify patient satisfaction with a phase III cardiac rehabilitation programme. The instrument used provided qualitative and quantitative information. Overall, patients were well satisfi ed with the specifi c parts of the programme, but believed that the exercise component was the most benefi cial. Thematic analysis showed that improved confi dence was an important positive benefi t while failure to meet individual needs was a concern. Indicators for quality improvement and recommendations are proposed.
