Abstract
Background
Intention is an important factor in encouraging patients to receive cardiac rehabilitation. Illness perceptions of patients and individuals around them, such as family caregivers, may influence intention. However, no study has explored how family caregivers’ illness perceptions enhance older coronary heart disease (CHD) patients’ phase II cardiac rehabilitation intentions.
Objectives
To describe older CHD patients’ phase II cardiac rehabilitation intentions and their relationship with family caregivers’ illness perceptions and to examine the mediating role of patients’ illness perceptions.
Methods
A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 202 older CHD patient‒family caregiver dyads. The Chinese versions of the Revised Illness Perception Questionnaire, Willingness to Participate in Cardiac Rehabilitation Questionnaire (WPCRQ), and Cardiac Rehabilitation Inventory (CRI) were adopted. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, Pearson correlations, and structural equation modeling. Reporting followed the STROBE checklist.
Results
Patients were 69.81 years and mostly male (64.85 %); family caregivers were 52.58 years and mostly female (55.94 %). Family caregivers’ personal control had a direct effect on patients’ phase II cardiac rehabilitation intentions (βWPCRQ = -0.217, βCRI = -0.228; P = 0.001). Family caregivers’ personal control, treatment control, and timeline acute/chronic had indirect effects on patients’ cardiac rehabilitation intentions through patients’ corresponding dimensions of illness perceptions (|β|WPCRQ = 0.086∼0.098, |β|CRI = 0.062∼0.097; P < 0.05).
Conclusion
Family caregivers’ illness perceptions can affect patients’ phase II cardiac rehabilitation intentions directly and indirectly through patients’ illness perceptions. Interventions targeting illness perceptions in both older CHD patients and their family caregivers could be provided to improve patients’ phase II cardiac rehabilitation intentions.
期刊介绍:
Heart & Lung: The Journal of Cardiopulmonary and Acute Care, the official publication of The American Association of Heart Failure Nurses, presents original, peer-reviewed articles on techniques, advances, investigations, and observations related to the care of patients with acute and critical illness and patients with chronic cardiac or pulmonary disorders.
The Journal''s acute care articles focus on the care of hospitalized patients, including those in the critical and acute care settings. Because most patients who are hospitalized in acute and critical care settings have chronic conditions, we are also interested in the chronically critically ill, the care of patients with chronic cardiopulmonary disorders, their rehabilitation, and disease prevention. The Journal''s heart failure articles focus on all aspects of the care of patients with this condition. Manuscripts that are relevant to populations across the human lifespan are welcome.
