Évaluation d’un programme d’éducation thérapeutique du patient sur l’activité physique, à distance d’une rééducation réadaptation cardiovasculaire

ConclusionUn programme d’éducation concernant l’AP au cours de la rééducation cardiovasculaire permet aux patients d’acquérir des connaissances qui peuvent être utilisées afin de maintenir de nouvelles habitudes de vie notamment en restant actif physiquement. Des études complémentaires sont nécessaires pour prouver que la continuité de la pratique physique contribue au maintien des aptitudes physiques développées au cours de la rééducation.SummaryEducational programs for patients are a major part in the management of cardiac patients in rehabilitation centers. They allow patients to change their lifestyle to keep exercise training in daily life.ObjectiveThis study intended to estimate short and long run effects of exercise training educational programs, and watch lifestyle adjustments in cardiac patient's life.MethodsWe have included 134 patients (27 women and 107 men) 6 months after a rehabilitation in which they participated in an educational program, we evaluated in pre-test/post-test: knowledge about physical activity, level of physical activity by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), follow-up of physical activity recommendations, a 6-minute walk test (6MWT), weight and body composition by impedance-meter.ResultsWe found that patients improved their knowledge of physical activity at the end of cardiac rehabilitation (12.48 vs. 15.11) and consolidated this knowledge 6 months later (15.10). Patients remain active enough after rehabi...
