简要总结
It aims to compare the effects of a professional -led support programme using a mobile application versus telephone advice on clients at risk of coronary heart disease. A multi-centre, single-blinded, randomized controlled trial will be conducted. 168 Clients who are at risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), able to use a smart phone will be randomized into the App Support group (App group) or the Nursing Telephone advice (NTA) group . All participants will receive same nursing educational briefing related to CHD. The App Group will additional receive an app use to support their self care whereas the NTA group will receive nursing telephone advice for 20 minutes monthly.
Health outcomes will be collected at baseline (T0), 1 months (T1), 3 months (T2). Data analysis will be conducted using a Generalized Estimating Equations model to assess differential changes in all outcome variables.
详细描述
The aim of this study is to test the effects of a professional-led support programme for clients who are at risk of developing CHD on outcomes of total exercise, self-efficacy and self-management behavior, emergency department attendance and hospitalizations, CHD risk factor profile, and quality of life.
Over 3 months, the investigators will examine the effect on the App group as compared to the NTA group and the control group of: Total amount of exercise (primary outcome) and secondary outcomes:1) Self-efficacy and self-management behavior; 2)Emergency department attendance and hospitalization frequency;3) CHD risk factor profile (smoking, blood pressure, body mass index, blood lipid level);4) Cardiovascular functional endurance;5)Perceived stress ; and 6) Quality of life.
A prospective multi-Centre, parallel, randomized controlled trial (RCT) with two arms - an app support programme (App) group vs a Nursing Telephone advice (NTA) group and a control group - will be adopted. The RCT method follow CONSORT 2010 guideline. 168 subjects will be required (n=84 each group). Subject recruitment will likely take about 14 months.
Intervention protocol: 168 Clients who are at risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), able to use a smart phone will be randomized into the App Support group (App group) or the Nursing Telephone advice (NTA) group. All eligible participants will receive same nursing educational briefing related to CHD. The App Group will additionally receive an app use to support their self -care whereas the NTA group will receive a leaflet and a monthly nursing telephone advice ( about 20 minutes per call. The duration of intervention will be about 3 months. Health outcomes will be collected by research assistant at baseline (T0), 1 months (T1), 3 months (T2) at the community Centre or research Centre. Data analysis will be conducted using SPSS and a Generalized Estimating Equations model to assess differential changes in all outcome variables. All the tests will be two-sided and a p-value of <0.05 will be considered statistically significant.
Ethical approval and permission will be sought from the study university and the selected community centres. RCT registration has been obtained from the ClinicalTrials.gov Protocol Registration system (https://clinicaltrials.gov/).

盲法说明
To minimize subject contamination, the different groups will be assigned different follow-up dates. The research assistants who are responsible for collecting data will be blinded to the group allocations. To ensure allocation concealment, each computer generated sequence will be put in a sequentially numbered, opaque sealed envelope. The envelope will be opened by RA1 after the participant has completed the baseline questionnaire.

结局指标
主要结局
Change of total physical exercise: the Godin-Shepherd Leisure Time Physical Activity Questionnaire.
时间窗: baseline, 3 months
This scale measures the frequency, duration the respondent has performed strenuous, moderate and mild exercise outside of their work duties. The total weekly leisure activity is calculated in arbitrary units as a sum of the products of the separate components
