The Effect Of Cardiac Rehabilitation On Physiological And Psychosocial Outcomes In MI Patients
Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) is a leading cause of morbidity and death all over world, often causing significant physical, emotional, and psychological complications on patients. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) has come out as an effective method to improve both physiological and psychosocial outcomes recovering from MI. This study examines the impact of a structured cardiac rehabilitation program on MI patients, focusing on changes in physical health, psychological well-being, and overall quality of life. The program includes supervised exercise, education on lifestyle modification, and psychological benefits. Physiologically, CR has been shown to improve cardiovascular fitness, reduce symptoms of heart failure, and enhance overall functional capacity. Study included 30 patients with post MI, fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria and were allocated to perform the Cardiac Rehabilitation program for 12 weeks. This study is an experimental design and a prospective observational study that utilized purposive sampling to select participants. A total sample size of 30 individuals were included post attaining stable health status after MI, the study was conducted at the study centre: Santosh Hospital in Ghaziabad. Patients were assigned to a 12-week comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation program. Cardiac rehabilitation consisted of 36 sessions, each for 50-55 minutes that included education, physical and cardiac care instruction, psychosocial support, and supervised exercise training. There was statistically significant comparison between pretest and post-test of Vo2 Max and Spo2 with P<0.05. Vo2 Max (volume of oxygen maximum) is increasing post-test as well as Spo2 (peripheral capillary oxygen saturation) is increasing post-test. There was a statistically significant comparison between pretest and post-test of general well-being scale with P<0.05. The value of general well-being scale is increasing after the post-test. There was statistically significant comparison between pretest and post-test of general self-efficacy scale with P<0.05. Value of general self-efficacy scale is increasing after post-test thus , cardiac rehabilitation proved to be an effective treatment in myocardial infarction patients.
