Cardiac Rehabilitation With Motivational Interview for Acute Myocardial Infarction

March 28, 2023 updated by: Luis Gonzalez de Paz, Consorci d'Atenció Primària de Salut de l'Eixample

Motivational Interview for Cardiac Rehabilitation in Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Randomized Controlled Trial in the Primary Healthcare Area.

Introduction: Secondary prevention after acute myocardial infarction may include cardiac rehabilitation and lifestyle changes. Cardiac rehabilitation has mainly taken place in hospitals without coordination with primary healthcare. Motivational interviews have been shown to be effective as a means for change in patients after acute myocardial infarction. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a cardiac rehabilitation program with motivational interviews in patients discharged from hospital after acute myocardial infarction.

Methods: Randomized clinical non-pharmacological trial. A minimum sample of 284 participants requiring cardiac rehabilitation after acute myocardial infarction in six primary healthcare centers. Participants will be randomized to cardiac rehabilitation with motivational interviews or normal standard of care. All secondary results will be evaluated at 1,3 and 6 months.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Motivational interview
Motivation Interview program with standard care
The new CR program with MI will be structured in 4 sessions and an optional fifth during the six months after discharge. The methodology of the MI sessions will follow the four phases logical sequence of MI proposed by Rollnick and Millner. 1) engage in a collaborative relationship, 2) focus on a particular change, 3) evoke intrinsic motivations for change, and 4) plan an immediate step for change
Active Comparator: Standard care group
Standard care
All patients in the control group will receive a kit with informative material with the actions and procedures to follow (diet, physical activity, smoking cessation, and other recommendations about secondary prevention).
