The current study is a randomized controlled trial, being conducted at two hospitals in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, involving the randomization of cardiac inpatients into an intervention group, in which they will receive mentorship from a volunteer cardiac rehabilitation peer mentor, and a control group, in which they will receive usual care. Patients in both groups will be tracked to determine if they are referred to cardiac rehabilitation and if they enroll in cardiac rehabilitation. We hypothesize that compared to cardiac inpatients who receive usual care, those cardiac inpatients who receive cardiac rehabilitation peer mentorship will be more likely to be referred to and enroll in cardiac rehabilitation.
The current study will be a randomized controlled trial in which cardiac inpatients will be randomized to either receive the intervention (cardiac rehabilitation peer mentorship) or be in the control group (receive usual care). After consent is obtained cardiac patients in the intervention group will be visited, at the hospital bedside, by trained volunteer cardiac rehabilitation peer mentors (i.e., individuals who have completed cardiac rehabilitation) who will provide the patients with information on cardiac rehabilitation as well as encourage the patients to obtain a referral from their healthcare provider. During this visit the cardiac rehabilitation peer mentor will also obtain agreement from the patient to call the patient at home two weeks after their discharge. Those in the control group will not be visited by cardiac rehabilitation peer mentors.
One week after discharge the cardiac rehabilitation peer mentors will mail the patients in the intervention a get-well soon card reminding the patient of the visit, giving them more information about the cardiac rehabilitation program, and reminding them of their future scheduled phone call. Two weeks after patients' discharge cardiac rehabilitation peer mentors will call the patients in the intervention group. At this point they will assess how the patient is doing, if they were referred to cardiac rehabilitation and if they enrolled. Any possible barriers the patients have to attending cardiac rehabilitation will also be discussed.
Eight weeks post-discharge, patient referral and enrolment will be ascertained by a research assistant blinded to random assignment. Statistical analyses will be conducted to determine any differences between the two groups as well as to determine any differences between men and women.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cardiac Rehabilitation Peer Mentorship | Experimental | Trained cardiac rehabilitation (CR) peer mentors will visit cardiac inpatients in the hospital to provide patients with information on CR. During this visit the CR mentors will discuss the benefits of CR, stress the importance of getting a referral, and arrange a time to call the patient/participant at home to find out about their CR progress. One week post-discharge the peer mentor will mail a card to the patient to remind them of the planned call. Two weeks post-discharge the peer mentor will call the patient at home to determine if they were referred and if they are planning to attend CR. If any barriers are stated by patient the peer mentors will work with the patient to develop possible solutions. Patients can request up to two additional phone calls from the mentors. |
|
| Usual Care | No Intervention | Cardiac inpatients will not be visited by the cardiac rehabilitation (CR) peer mentor. They will instead receive usual care involving care from health care providers (i.e. nurses and doctors) as well as allied health professionals such as physiotherapists. In addition, some may be visited by general volunteer cardiac mentors. |

| Cardiac Rehabilitation Enrollment in Site Closer to Home | A blinded research assistant will call those patients who were re-referred to a cardiac rehabilitation site closer to their home to see if they enrolled in cardiac rehabilitation. The study coordinator will then compare this to enrollment rates (already determined by the blinded research assistant) of those who enrolled in the program at the hospital system in which they were inpatients. |

During this visit the CR mentors will discuss the benefits of CR, stress the importance of getting a referral before leaving the hospital, and arrange a time in the near future to call the patient/participant at home to find out about their progress in terms of CR. One week after the patient has been discharged the peer mentor will mail a card to the patient to wish them well and remind them of the planned call. Two weeks after the patient has been discharged the peer mentor will call the patient at home to determine if they were referred and if they are able and planning to attend CR.
