Brief Summary

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

The 6-minute walk test is a test of physical performance in physiotherapy with lungs and heart patients (Pollentier 2010). However, only 8 and 11% of patients in everyday test situations report a score of 7 or higher on a scale of 0-10 for effort (Jehn 2009). This study is intended to explore, based on grounded theory, why the majority of patients do not assess themselves according to the almost maximum performance.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Patients over 55 Years with coronary heart disease

Questionnaire and semistructured Interview 45 -60 minutes

Questionnaire, Interview

Intervention Type OTHER

During the stay, a study visit is arranged with the patient after the 6-minute walk test has been performed. This consists of filling out the questionnaire and an interview, which lasts about 45-60 minutes. This is carried out by the investigator on at least 5 subjects. After each interview, a list of influencing factors is kept. If new aspects continue to appear in the 5th interview, the interviews are continued (up to a maximum of the 10th subject). If no new aspects appear in the interviews from number 6 onwards, the interviews are discontinued and no further patients are recruited. The conversations are recorded with an audio recording.
