简要总结
While cardiac rehabilitation (CR) has been shown to be effective at improving cardiovascular disease (CVD), participation is generally poor. The current feasibility study, will evaluate the impact of a social media intervention on motivation for exercise and adherence to CR sessions. Participants will be randomly assigned to a Facebook™ group or an enhanced education comparison group. The intervention will include access to a private Facebook™ group in which participants will receive weekly educational posts, weekly provider support and have the opportunity to communicate with other cardiac rehabilitation patients. Patients in the comparison group will be given the same educational materials, but these will be supplied in email. Participants will be asked to fill out a pre-post motivational questionnaire and the total number of sessions attended at the end of 3 months will be tallied. This study is grounded in Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and utilizes the Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire (BREQ-2), which is based on the SDT.
详细描述
There is no research that addresses the use of Facebook as a tool to affect autonomous motivation in cardiac rehabilitation.
The purpose of the current feasibility study is to determine the feasibility of using a Facebook intervention, providing education, peer support and provider support, to affect change in motivation and self-determination for exercise, and adherence to cardiac rehabilitation in patients with CHD during a 12-week Phase II cardiac rehabilitation program. It is hypothesized that:
- Scores for motivation for exercise overall will increase for patients exposed to a Facebook intervention and across individual motivational subtypes (regulations) relative to a comparison group who receive educational handouts and emails.
- Percentage of cardiac rehabilitation sessions attended will be higher relative to a comparison group who receive educational handouts and emails.
- Engagement in the private Facebook group (number of "hits" and "likes") will predict number of cardiac rehabilitation sessions attended and the change in motivation. The feasibility of a larger trial will be based on sample size and participants' engagement in the Facebook group.
Methodology Design This is a prospective, randomized controlled pilot trial to evaluate the feasibility of using a social media intervention to affect change in motivation for exercise and adherence to cardiac rehabilitation.
