Brief Summary

This study aims to determine the factors affecting exercise adherence in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). For this purpose, the following measurement tools will be used respectively: (1) "Patient Information Form" including sociodemographic characteristics of the patients and medical information related to the disease, (2) the Exercise Adherence Rating Scale (EARS), (3) Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale (ESE) and, (4) Turkish-Health Literacy Survey Europe-Q12 (HLS-EU-19-12Q-TR). Statistical analyses will be carried out by descriptive statistics (number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, etc.), correlation analysis and regression analysis.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• exercise adherence

  EARS, a self-report measurement tool, was developed to assess adherence to prescribed home exercise regimes. It has three sections, A (qualitative information about participants' exercise adherence behaviours), B (exercise adherence behaviours) and C (factors preventing and facilitating exercise). Sections B and C are scored using a 5-point Likert scale (0=totally agree to 4=totally disagree).The total scores of Parts B and C range from 0 to 24 and 0 to 40, respectively, and the possible total scores (Part B + Part C) range from 0 to 64. A higher total score from the EARS indicates better exercise adherence. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was found to be 0.81 in the original scale and 0.86 in the Turkish version.

  Baseline

• predictors for exercise adherence

  The following instruments will be used to measure predictors for exercise adherence: (1) patient information form, (2) ESE and, (3) HLS-EU-19-12Q-TR. The patient information form includes 14 items including sociodemographic characteristics and medical information related to the disease. The ESE has 18 items. Scores between 0-100% are obtained from the scale, the higher the score, the higher the self-efficacy level of the participants. Cronbach's alpha coefficient is 0.94. The HLS-EU-19-12Q-TR has 12 items. The total score is calculated with a standardised index score (Index=\[mean-1\]\*\[50/3\]). The standardised index score varies between 0-50. A score of 33 and over indicates adequate literacy. Correlation analyses and regression modelling will be used for the factors affecting participants' exercise adherence.
