Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This randomized controlled trial study aims to examine the effects of a multidimensional exercise program in cardiac surgery patients. The following hypotheses were tested: patients who received the exercise program will report significant improvement in frailty after the 12-week multidimensional exercise program. Subjects are randomly assigned to the intervention or control group. Patients in the intervention group will receive a 12-week multidimensional exercise program. Data are collected by using medical records and structural questionnaires, measuring handgrip strength, and a four-meter walk test at baseline, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study aims to develop a multidimensional exercise program and examine the effects of an exercise program on cardiac surgery patients. An experimental design is used. Subjects are recruited using convenience sampling and randomly assigned to the intervention or control group using the block randomization method. Patients in the intervention group will receive a 12-week multidimensional exercise program, including individual nursing consultation, an exercise program that includes moderate intensity walking for 30-45 minutes per day, three days per week combined resistance exercise, nutrition assessment, and instructions, and support. Data are collected by using medical records and structural questionnaires, measuring handgrip strength, and a four-meter walk test at baseline, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 22.0, and data analysis methods include descriptive statistics, independent t-test, chi-square, and generalized estimating equation.
