The Effect of Motivational Interviewing and Clinician Centered Interviewing Based Cardiac Rehabilitation on Core Outcomes
The Effect of Motivational Interviewing and Clinician Centered Interviewing Based Cardiac Rehabilitation on Core Outcomes
The purpose of this project is to examine the differences in outpatient cardiac rehab (OPCR) core component outcomes on different intervention conditions. Conditions include traditional OPCR (control), OPCR + motivational interviewing (MI) and OPCR + Clinician centered interviews.
Participants who are beginning a OPCR program at a local hospital are eligible for the program. During the standard admission procedures, eligible participants will be provided with a consent from and asked to participate in the study. Participants who provide consent will complete their admission packet. The standard admission packet includes: the Outpatient Fall Assessment Risk, Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9),the Dartmouth Quality of Life, and the Rate Your Plate. In addition participants will complete three additional surveys: the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (IMI), the FPS, (FACES Pain Scale), and the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS). During their second appointment participants will complete the standard 6 minute walk test which is scheduled at their convenience and the grip strength. Participants will then be randomly assigned to the traditional OPCR, the OPCR + MI, or the OPCR - Clinician centered. Post-testing will include all baseline information as well as information from patients charts (lipid profile, HbA1c, risk factors and family history). Analysis will determine differences in core outcomes between the three groups.
