Background & Aim: The main care need of patients with myocardial infarction (MI) is continuous care, presenting an important challenge in the field of nursing care. Therefore, This study aimed to evaluate the effect of nurse-led home-based cardiac rehabilitation on adherence to therapeutic regimens in patients with MI.
Methods & Materials: In this randomized clinical trial study, 80 eligible patients were selected through convenience sampling from selected hospitals affiliated with Tehran University of Medical Sciences in 2020-2021. Subsequently, they were randomly allocated to either the intervention or control groups. The control group received routine education upon hospital discharge, whereas the intervention group participated in a nurse-led cardiac rehabilitation program conducted both in-person at home and online, comprising four 90-minute sessions once a week, and were monitored for two months. Participants completed socio-demographic and treatment compliance questionnaires before and three months after the intervention. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics with SPSS software version 20.
Results: Both groups were homogeneous in most demographic variables (P>0.05). The mean and standard deviation of treatment adherence scores before the intervention in the intervention and control groups were 70.82±7.91 and 67.94±11.20, respectively (P=0.015). After the intervention, these values changed to 75.10±6.13 and 68.77±10.12, respectively, with a statistically significant difference observed between the two groups (P<0.001).
Conclusion: The results revealed that nurse-led home-based cardiac rehabilitation was effective in enhancing treatment adherence. Therefore, it is suggested that cardiac rehabilitation care be consistently extended to the home setting.
