This clinical trial describes the development of 'Changeons ensemble', a web-based nursing intervention aimed at promoting physical activity and quality of life in older adults with coronary heart disease (CHD). The intervention was designed based on a needs assessment involving older adults and incorporates educational content, individualized feedback, and self-monitoring tools. It addresses the specific challenges faced by this population post-revascularization.
Key findings
- The needs assessment identified key areas of information, motivation, and self-efficacy for older adults with CHD.
- Changeons ensemble consists of seven sessions integrating educational content and reflexive activities.
- The intervention emphasizes flexibility and sensitivity to the physical and emotional challenges of older adults.
Why it matters
Engaging older adults with CHD in physical activity is crucial for secondary prevention and improving quality of life. This web-based intervention offers a tailored approach to support this population, potentially increasing participation in rehabilitation efforts.
