Scientific title
Study objectivesDoes a time structured series of home-based interventions to recently discharged first-time MI and CABG patients, which focus on the encouragement of lifestyle changes related to diet, stress and exercise, have the effect of: raising the patients' level of compliance with the formal cardiac rehabilitation course; raising their self-efficacy for cardiac-related lifestyle change; and reducing the patients' level of anxiety and depression. The study also asks if there are any relationships between these factors, and how they might vary between the MI and CABG groups. The qualitative dimension of the study seeks to explore questions related to the experience of these patients in the immediate post-discharge period, particularly in relation to adjustment within the context of their specific socio-cultural environment.
