Effectiveness of behavior change techniques in eHealth-based cardiac rehabilitation in patients with coronary artery disease: A systematic review: Effective behavior change techniques in eHealth CR.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Participation in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) reduces risk of cardiovascular mortality, improves functional capacity and enhances quality of life in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). eHealth-based CR can increase participation rates, but research into effective components is necessary. The objective of this systematic review was to identify effective behavior change techniques (BCTs) used in eHealth-based CR interventions.

Methods

A search of four databases (CINAHL, PubMed, PsychINFO, and MEDLINE) was conducted until January 10, 2023. Randomized controlled trials investigating eHealth-based interventions for patients with CAD were included. Risk of bias was assessed using the Effective Public Healthcare Practice Project tool. BCTs were coded following th
