Demographic and clinical variables were collected, including assessments of frailty using the FRAIL Scale (FS), dependency using the Barthel Index, and nutritional status using both the Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) and Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI). Regression models and receiver operating characteristics curves were constructed to predict NACE. Patients in the NACE group exhibited higher frailty (P < 0.001), increased dependency (P < 0.001), and poorer nutritional status (P <0.05) compared to those in the non-NACE group. The FS [OR (95% CI) = 2.03 (1.39-2.95), P < 0.001] and PNI [OR (95% CI) = 0.64 (0.41-0.99), P < 0.05] scores emerged as independent predictors of NACE in a multivariable model including age, sex, and traditional cardiovascular risk factors.

Understanding these needs is essential for developing targeted interventions that enhance informal caregiver support and improve patient outcomes in CR. This study aimed to explore the educational needs of informal caregivers supporting individuals with CVD attending CR.</p><p><strong>Methods and results: </strong>A mixed-methods approach was used to explore the educational needs of informal caregivers. Quantitative data were collected through an online cross-sectional survey completed by 86 informal caregivers. The survey assessed sociodemographic characteristics, quality of life (WHOQOL-BREF), and educational needs. Most respondents had not received formal education or training related to caregiving, although their knowledge of CVD was rated as moderate to high. Many reported difficulties accessing reliable information and resources. Qualitative data were gathered through semi-structured interviews with 16 informal caregivers, and four key themes were determined: Helpful Resources, Empowerment, Lived Experience Network, and Psychological Support. Informal caregivers expressed a desire for practical resources, more direct access to healthcare professionals, and both emotional and peer support. They also highlighted the importance of managing stress and balancing their well-being alongside caregiving responsibilities.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The findings suggest that educational interventions for informal caregivers should be comprehensive and flexible, incorporating practical caregiving strategies as well as social and emotional support.
