Brief Summary

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

Background: This study was carried out to determine the effect of physical activity program applied to individuals with heart failure on quality of life, functional capacity and mortality risk level.

Objective: The study, which was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study, was completed with a total of 40 HF patients, 20 of whom were interventions and 20 were controls. A physical activity program lasting at least 30 minutes each session was applied to HF patients in the intervention group, three days a week for three months, and the walks of the patients were followed by a pedometer.

Background: This study was carried out to determine the effect of physical activity program applied to individuals with heart failure on quality of life, functional capacity and mortality risk level.

Objective: The study, which was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study, was completed with a total of 40 HF patients, 20 of whom were interventions and 20 were controls. A physical activity program lasting at least 30 minutes each session was applied to HF patients in the intervention group, three days a week for three months, and the walks of the patients were followed by a pedometer. At the same time, a monthly home visit and weekly phone call were made to the patients. No intervention was applied to the patients in the control group, apart from weekly phone calls. All patients were receiving optimal stable HF therapy.

Study Groups

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

Intervention Group

A physical activity program lasting at least 30 minutes each session was applied to HF patients in the intervention group, three days a week for three months. A pedometer was used to visualize the walking performed in the physical activity program and to record reliably. Weekly phone calls and monthly home visits were made to the patients in order to determine the continuation of the medical treatment and walking program used by the patients, to increase their motivation and to detect or intervene in any situation related to the walking program.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Physical activity program

Intervention Type OTHER

A physical activity program lasting at least 30 minutes each session was applied to HF patients in the intervention group, three days a week for three months. A pedometer was used to visualize the walking performed in the physical activity program and to record reliably. After the data obtained in the pre-test, the pedometers, which were calibrated and checked by the researchers, were delivered to the patients. At the end of each day of walking with pedometer monitoring, they were asked to record data such as the number of steps, walking hour, walking time, distance and complaints encountered during walking on the walking monitoring chart given to the patient by the researchers. Weekly phone calls and monthly home visits were made to the patients in order to determine the continuation of the medical treatment and walking program used by the patients, to increase their motivation and to detect or intervene in any situation related to the walking program.

Non-Intervention Group

The individuals in the control group, were pre-tested, evaluated at the first, second, and third months, and followed up in the process without any intervention. Patients were reminded that they should continue their routine medical treatment and not start any physical activity program.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
