BACKGROUND Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is an exercise-based program prescribed after cardiac events that is associated with improved physical, mental, and social functioning; however, many patients return to a sedentary lifestyle leading to deteriorating exercise capacity after discharge from CR. Physical activity (PA) is critical to avoid recurrence of cardiac events and mortality as well as maintaining functional capacity. Leveraging digital health strategies to increase adherence to PA is a promising approach. We sought to determine whether mobile health strategies (MOVN mobile app for self-monitoring, supportive push-through messages, and wearable activity tracker) would improve PA and exercise capacity over 2 months. OBJECTIVE The objectives of this study were to: 1) evaluate group differences in PA and exercise capacity; and 2) determine group differences in depression and self-efficacy to maintain exercise after CR. METHODS During the final week of outpatient CR, patients were randomized 1:1 to the intervention group or usual care. The intervention group downloaded the MOVN mobile app, received supportive push-through messages on motivation and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) 3 times per week, and wore a Fitbit Charge 2 to track steps. Participants in the usual care group wore a pedometer and recorded their daily steps in a diary. Data from the 6MWT and self-reported questionnaires were collected at baseline and 2 months. RESULTS We recruited 60 patients from 2 CR sites at a community hospital in Northern California. The mean age was 66.8 ± 8.6 and 22% were female; retention rate of 85%. Our results from 51 patients who completed follow up showed the intervention group had a statistically significant higher mean daily steps count compared to the control (8,860 vs. 6,633) (P = .021). There was no difference between groups for the 6MWT, depression, or self-efficacy to maintain exercise. CONCLUSIONS Our technology-based intervention using a mobile app, push-through messages, and Fitbit proposes a low-cost, pragmatic, and contemporary approach to promote physical activity and sustain exercise capacity after completing CR. This intervention addresses a major public health initiative to promote PA in patients with CVD with the potential to improve critical PA, clinical, and psychosocial outcomes.

Self-determination theory and self-efficacy theory are prominent theories in the physical activity literature, and studies have begun integrating their concepts. Sweet, Fortier, Strachan and Blanchard (2012) have integrated these two theories in a cross-sectional study. Therefore, this study sought to test a longitudinal integrated model to predict physical activity at the end of a 4-month cardiac rehabilitation program based on theory, research and Sweet <em>et al</em>.’s cross-sectional model. Participants from two cardiac rehabilitation programs (N=109) answered validated self-report questionnaires at baseline, two and four months. Data were analyzed using Amos to assess the path analysis and model fit. Prior to integration, perceived competence and self-efficacy were combined, and labeled as confidence. After controlling for 2-month physical activity and cardiac rehabilitation site, no motivational variables significantly predicted residual change in 4-month physical activity. Although confidence at two months did not predict residual change in 4-month physical activity, it had a strong positive relationship with 2-month physical activity (β=0.30, P&lt;0.001). The overall model retained good fit indices. In conclusion, results diverged from theoretical predictions of physical activity, but self-determination and self-efficacy theory were still partially supported. Because the model had good fit, this study demonstrated that theoretical integration is feasible.

Following a diagnosis of cardiovascular disease there is a need for patients to self-manage. Health literacy has been shown to be lower in patients with cardiovascular disease, yet research into health literacy in this population is limited. This study used the Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ) to examine the health literacy and associated health, health behaviours and psychological profiles of cardiac rehabilitation patients from a remote and rural regional programme in the Scottish Highlands. Consecutive patients referred to the service in a calendar year were sent a cross-sectional questionnaire by post. Hierarchical cluster analysis grouped respondents based on their health literacy profile, and nonparametric methods were used to analyse differences between clusters on the other measures. A total of 282 participants responded (45.7%). Respondents were older (median: 71 years) and more likely to be from more affluent areas. Five health literacy clusters emerged with different profiles of health, physical activity, self-efficacy, motivation and illness perceptions. There was no difference in relation to cardiac rehabilitation attendance by health literacy cluster, but those with lower health literacy were less likely to be aware of the referral. Patterns of health literacy are associated with health, health behaviours and some psychological constructs. Knowledge of distinct cluster characteristics may help services better target interventions.

Preliminary Study

A preliminary study was conducted to compare the relationships between different types of self-efficacy and youth physical activity. Two samples of sixth and seventh-grade students (Sample 1: N= 57; Sample 2: N= 49) reported their confidence to be physically active (physical activity efficacy), to overcome barriers to physical activity (barriers efficacy), to ask others to be activewith them (asking efficacy), and to find and create environments that support physical activity (environmental-change efficacy). Physical activity was measured by averaging three 24-hour recalls of physical activity. Regression analyses were used to test the relationships between the types of self-efficacy and youth physical activity. Compared with the other types of self-efficacy, environmental-change efficacy had the strongest relationship with youth physical activity. This suggests that strengthening young persons’belief in their ability to find and create environments that support physical activity might promote increases in their physical activity.
