Summary

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death globally and e-health educational programs have been proved to be effective support to CVD clients. However, most e-health programs lack personalization and this seldom results in exercise behavioral change. Considering the advantages of e-health programs, as well as the widespread internet use and the rising trend of younger patients having CVD in Hong Kong, we conducted a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) to investigate the effectiveness of a home-based interactive e-health educational intervention versus usual care for middle aged cardiac vascular (CV) patients on their total physical exercise, exercise adherence and quality of life.

Conditions

  • Cardiovascular Disease

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

e-health educational intervention (eHEI)

The e-HEI link (e-health link http://ehealth.nur.cuhk.edu.hk) provides the content of culture-specific cognitive knowledge related to CVD and measures to modify risk factors. The member area and interactive platform of the e-HEI website allows the self-monitoring of individual health and exercise records. Members can view and retrieve their own exercise records daily, and health measures trend regularly.
