    A Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) based exercise rehabilitation program was developed for chronic heart failure patients.

  • 2

    The study involved 100 CHF patients, randomly assigned to either a control group or the HAPA intervention group.

  • 3

    Significant improvements in exercise adherence and self-efficacy were observed in the intervention group compared to the control group.

  • 4

    Quality of life scores were significantly better in the intervention group after three months of the HAPA-based program.

  • 5

    Further research is needed to confirm the efficacy and broader clinical applicability of the HAPA-based exercise rehabilitation program.
