Summary

The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility of using targeted daily cell phone interaction to facilitate behavior change for physical activity in previously-sedentary individuals who have recently undergone a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Detailed description

Regular physical activity is important in the maintenance of cardiovascular health, and is especially critical for previously sedentary individuals who have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures. Changing behavior to adopt and maintain recommended physical activity levels in this population is difficult. Interventions to accomplish behavior change will not work unless they can be adopted into a person's busy lifestyle. This proposed study fills a gap by testing the feasibility of an innovative, targeted intervention (Physical Activity Promotion Telehealth Intervention), delivered by a practical and feasible platform (cell phone). The asynchronous targeted daily interaction will consist of 5-6 text, picture, and/or video messages delivered to the subject's cell phone each day. Upon successful completion of this study, it is believed that these feasibility findings will provide a foundation for the testing of a larger clinical trial to promote physical activity in this population.

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Physical Activity Promotion Intervention	Subjects in the experimental group (Physical Activity Promotion Telehealth Intervention) will receive messages on the study cell phone - approximately 2 to 3 messages every day. Depending on the subject's responses to the questionnaires at baseline (stages and processes of change) they will be given tips to help them engage in physical activity (such as messages to increase their self-efficacy or confidence, walking with a friend or spouse, breaking up physical activity bouts into 10 minutes bouts, etc.) and also to help them keep the physical activity appropriate. Walking will be primarily the suggested mode of activity.
