About this study

Official title: Effect of an Educational Model on Physical Activity in Individuals Undergoing the First Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Randomized Clinical Trial

The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of an educational model, which included cardiac rehabilitation with emphasis on physical activity and telephone follow up, with the usual management of individuals undergoing to first percutaneous coronary intervention, in relation to physical activity five until seven months after discharge.

Read the detailed description

Randomized controlled trial (RCT) at a public teaching hospital, which has specialized care for CAD in Ribeirão Preto, state of São Paulo, Brazil. The intervention group received usual care and an educational programme and the control group received only usual care.

A researcher (who didn't had contact with the patients) generated the random allocation in SPSS software, concealing it from the investigators in sequentially numbered, sealed and opaque envelopes.

Another researcher performed the individual interview with each participant (baseline) and aplied the instruments of socialdemographic data, physical activity, ansiety and depression, perceived health status and selfefficacy to practice of physical activity. At the end of the interviewThe same researcher opened the envelope to allocate the participants to either intervention or control group. The participants of intervention group remained with the researcher to receive the intervention.

The educational programme consisted of four booklets entitled 1. Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty, 2. Going home after your coronary angioplasty, 3. How to take care of your heart and your health, and 4. How to practice physical activities. The educational programme included the telephone follow-up that contained three calls to motivate the participants to change their lifestyle and clarify doubts. The contents of the booklets were explained step by step to the participants by the researcher who conducted the interviews.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in physical activity level from baseline to five to seven months

    The "Baecke Questionnaire of Habitual Physical Activity" was developed by Baecke, Burema and Frijters (1982) and validated for the Brazilian population by Florindo et al. (2004, 2006). The instrument has three dimensions: occupational physical activity (eight questions), physical activity during leisure time (four questions) and leisure and locomotion activities (four questions), totaling 16 questions. Higher scores indicate a higher level of physical activity. This questionnaire was used to collect the data at baseline and five to seven months after hospital discharge.

    Measured: baseline and five to seven months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change in symptoms of anxiety and depression from baseline to five to seven months

    The questionnaire "Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale" was developed by Zigmond and Snaith (1983) and validated and adapted to Portuguese by Botega et al. (1995). The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale contains 14 multiple choice questions, divided into two subscales: anxiety and depression (composed of seven items each). Higher scores indicate more symptoms of anxiety and depression. This questionnaire was used to collect the data at baseline and five to seven months after hospital discharge.

    Measured: baseline and five to seven months

  2. Change in perceived health status from baseline to five to seven months

    The questionnaire "Medical Outcomes Survey 36 - Item Short-Form" developed by Ware and Sherboune (1992). The investigators used the version licensed by Quality Metric Incorporated (MARUISH, 2011) for use in surveys in Brazil. The Medical Outcomes Survey 36 - Item Short-Form is a multidimensional questionnaire composed of 36 items that evaluate eight health concepts: functional capacity, physical aspects, pain, general health, vitality, social aspects, emotional aspects, mental health and a comparative question that evaluate the current health conditions with one year ago. Higher values indicate better perceived health status. This questionnaire was used to collect the data at baseline and five to seven months after hospital discharge.

    Measured: baseline and five to seven months

  3. Change in self-efficacy for physical activity from baseline to five to seven months

    The questionnaire "Escala de Autoeficácia Para Prática de Atividade Física" developed by Rech et al. (2011) for Brazilian adults and by Borges et al. (2015) that used in the elderly population. This questionnaire was elaborated from two specific scales of self-efficacy for the practice of physical exercise, proposed by Sallis et al. (1988) and Bandura (2006). We used the Brazilian adult version (RECH et al., 2011) which contains two domains with five items each in which the answers are dichotomous ( "no" versus "yes"). Higher scores indicate better self-efficacy for physical activity. The instrument was used to collect the data at baseline and five to seven months after hospital discharge.

    Measured: baseline and five to seven months

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in physical activity level from baseline to five to seven months (time frame: baseline and five to seven months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
