Cardiac Rehabilitation Needs Among Individuals With Atrial Fibrillation
Condition(s) studied
Study summary
The goal of this survey- and registry-based study is to learn about the cardiac rehabilitation needs of individuals with atrial fibrillation (AF). The main objectives of the study is to:
1. Investigate cardiac rehabilitation needs among eligible individuals with AF in a large AF population
2. Estimate how many needs referral to primary care programs, according to a needs assessment model.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Atrial fibrillation related quality of life — At enrollment
Atrial fibrillation related quality of life by ASTA HRQoL scale (The Arrhythmia-Specific questionnaire in Tachycardia and Arrhythmia). The ASTA HRQoL scale has 13 items and describes the arrhythmia's influence on daily life situation with a seven items physical subscale (items 1-5, 10 and 12) and a six items mental subscale (items 6-9, 11 and 13). We will be using both the total and subscale scores as recommended. The response alternatives from 0 to 3: "No (0), Yes, to a certain extent (1), Yes, quite a lot (2), Yes, a lot (3)". Scoring for the ASTA HRQoL total scale ranges from 0 (best possible HRQoL) to highest 39 (worst possible HRQoL). Higher scores reflect a worse effect on HRQoL due to the heart rhythm disturbance. ASTA's physical subscale ranges from 0 to 21 and the mental subscale ranges from 0 to18. - Atrial fibrillation related symptom burden — At enrollment
AF6 questionnaire. Patients chose a number on a Likert scale from 0 to 10, where 0 means no and 10 severe symptoms or difficulties. The scores of the six questions are added into a single global score. The recall period for the instrument is the most recent 7 days.
