Summary

The overall aim is to develop and test the effect of a tailored patient and family focused cardiac tele rehabilitation intervention on health literacy by comparing it to standard care. Furthermore, to evaluate health-related quality of life, family support, and how the patients experience the communication and relationship with outpatient clinic nurses.

Detailed description

The project is designed inspired by The Complex Intervention Framework (MRC-Guidelines) combined with a patient and family participatory design. The project will consist of three sub-studies. The first study is a co-creation development of a model for the cardiac telerehabilitation intervention. The second study is a quasi-experimental study with a quantitative comparison of the group receiving the cardiac telerehabilitation intervention and control group. The third study will be a descriptive qualitative study which aim to investigate patient's experience with CTR using participant observation and individual interview or dyadic interview.

Conditions

• Cardiac Rehabilitation

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Cardiac telerehabilitation (video consultation and home monitoring)	Patients with cardiac disease and earlier experiences with cardiac rehabilitation, family members, and nurses in the Departments of Cardiology at Amager and Hvidovre Hospital will be invited to work in a partnership and through a course of innovative co-creative workshops. It is recommended that usability studies have 5-15 participants, which is why we plan to enroll 3 cardiac patients, 3 relatives and 3 nurses from the outpatient clinic. Through the workshops, a rehabilitation program offering cardiac telerehabilitation will be co-created to comply with the preferences and perspectives of patients and family members and nurses from the outpatient clinic. Through these workshops we will learn which important components and elements should be prioritized when offering cardiac telerehabilitation (how, when, and why?).
