Abstract

Introduction and objectives

Given the importance of cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death in the world, and the fact that in Spain only 2–3% of the population can benefit from access to cardiac rehabilitation programs, the aim of this study is to consider the measurement of quality of life as a good indicator to determine the effectiveness of these programs. This longitudinal study evaluates the impact of a cardiac rehabilitation program on quality of life in a cohort of 181 patients at a Spanish hospital for 2 years.

Methods

Quality of life was assessed at four time points: on admission to the program, at discharge after 12 weeks, and at the 4- and 12-month revisions.

Results

The results show an increase in the perception of quality of life compared to the initial situation of the patients at the time of admission to the rehabilitation program, with positive results being observed in practically all the domains of the questionnaire, obtaining a higher score in the physical role domain.

Conclusions

This study shows that attendance at a cardiac rehabilitation program significantly improves self-perception of health, both physical and emotional.
通过心脏康复计划改善生活质量:一项四波纵向研究
介绍和目标鉴于心血管疾病的重要性,在世界上死亡的主要原因,事实上,在西班牙只有2-3%的人口可以受益于心脏康复方案,本研究的目的是考虑生活质量的测量作为一个很好的指标,以确定这些方案的有效性。本纵向研究评估心脏康复计划对西班牙一家医院181例患者2年生活质量的影响。方法在4个时间点对患者的生活质量进行评估:入组时、12周后出院时、4个月和12个月复查时。结果患者的生活质量感知较入院时有所提高,在问卷的几乎所有领域都取得了积极的结果,在身体角色领域获得了更高的分数。本研究表明,参加心脏康复计划可显著提高身体和情绪健康的自我感知。
