Understanding adaptive tasks in cardiac rehabilitation among patients with acute myocardial infarction: a qualitative study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

While Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR) programs have shown effectiveness in improving cardiac outcomes, there is limited understanding of how patients perceive and adapt to these interventions. Furthermore, alternative modes of delivering CR that have received positive evaluations from participants remain underexplored, yet they have the potential to enhance CR uptake.

Objectives

To explore the patient experience in CR programmes following Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) and describe their adaptive processing.

Patients and methods

This qualitative study was conducted at a nationally certified centre in China between July 2021 and September 2022, encompassing three stages: in-hospital, centre-based, and home-based CR programs. Purposive sampling was used to sel
