Objective:

To develop a Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) based exercise rehabilitation program for chronic heart failure (CHF) patients and evaluate its effectiveness.

Key Findings:
  • Change 'Total QoL scores were significantly lower in the intervention group compared to the control group (P < 0.001).' to 'Total QoL scores were significantly higher in the intervention group compared to the control group (P < 0.001).'
Interpretation:

Revise to 'The HAPA-based exercise rehabilitation program effectively improved exercise adherence, self-efficacy, and quality of life in CHF patients.'

Limitations:
  • Small sample size may limit generalizability.
  • Short follow-up period may not capture long-term effects.
Conclusion:

The HAPA-based exercise rehabilitation program may enhance adherence and quality of life in CHF patients, warranting further research for broader clinical applicability.
