简要总结
Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia and affect 1-2 % of the population in the western world. Atrial fibrillation can be treated with a relatively new procedure, called radiofrequency ablation.
The aim of this study is to explore if patients treated with ablation for atrial fibrillation, benefit from an integrated rehabilitation programme, that consist of physical training and psycho-educative consultations with a specialised nurse.
The hypothesis is, that integrated rehabilitation can improve mental health, physical capacity and other factors.
详细描述
1-2 % of the population in the western world live with atrial fibrillation. One way to treat atrial fibrillation is with radiofrequency ablation. Ablation is a relatively new treatment and therefore only few studies has been exploring how the patients are doing after discharge. In Denmark the patients are not offered rehabilitation, only brief follow-up with a doctor. Therefore the aim of this study is to explore if the patients will benefit from a integrated rehabilitation programme consisting of physical training and psycho-educational intervention.
A randomized clinical trial is conducted to investigate the effect and meaning of an integrated rehabilitation programme on the physical and psychosocial functioning of patients treated for atrial fibrillation with radiofrequency ablation. The trial is a parallel arm design.
A mixed methods embedded experimental design is chosen to include both quantitative and qualitative data to evaluate the intervention. The intervention consists of four psycho-educational consultations provided by specialized nurses and a twelve week individualized exercise training programme provided by physiotherapists. A qualitative post-intervention study will explore rehabilitation participation experiences.
The hypothesis is, that integrated rehabilitation can improve mental health, physical capacity, self-rated health, quality of life, sleep-quality and reduce anxiety, depression, health care utilisation, work cessation and mortality in patients treated for atrial fibrillation with radiofrequency ablation and that it is cost effective.
210 patients will be included.
