“…Components such as nutritional counseling, psychological assessment, vocational counseling, and stress management were not adequately addressed and personnel for these components were not sufficient. While there already have been several studies to grasp the status of Korean CR program, most of them had some limitation in its scope [15][16][17][18]. This nation-wide survey project is more thorough and inclusive of various aspects of CR and with larger sample size and part of the survey results has been recently published, in which the detail of the research methods was described [14].…”

Background Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is an essential component in secondary prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Current guidelines recommend that the program should be comprehensive including multidisciplinary behavioral intervention, not only exercise training. While the utilization of CR is gradually increasing, the comprehensiveness of the program has not been systemically evaluated in Korea. Methods During the year 2020, nation-wide survey was done to evaluate the current status of CR in Korea. Survey was done by web-based structured questionnaire. Survey was requested to 164 hospitals performing percutaneous coronary intervention. Results Among 164 hospitals, 47 (28.7%) hospitals had CR programs. In hospitals with CR, multidisciplinary intervention other than exercise-based program was provided only partially: nutritional counseling (63%), vocational counseling for return to work (39%), stress management (31%), psychological evaluation (18%). Personnel for CR was commonly not dedicated to the program or even absent: (percentage of dedicated, concurrent with other work, absent) physical therapist (59, 41, 0%), nurse (31, 69, 0%), dietician (6, 65, 29%), clinical psychologist (0, 37, 63%). Conclusion Comprehensiveness of CR in Korea is suboptimal and human resource for it is poorly disposed. More awareness of current status by both clinicians and health policy makers is needed and insurance reimbursement for educational program should be improved.

Purpose: In order to improve the quality of cardiac rehabilitation, it is important to examine the experiences of the patients and how they feel about each part of the process. We used a qualitative research methodology to conduct an in-depth review of the experiences of patients who participated in cardiac rehabilitation.Methods: According to semi-structured guidelines, in-depth interviews were conducted with a total of five patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation.Results: A total of 232 codes was derived; these codes were split into 4 categories and 10 subcategories. Although the patients were apprehensive about the diagnosis of heart disease, it also gave them a chance to reflect on their health behaviors of the past. In addition, they began to appreciate their families and support networks more as the disease progressed. The participants did not know about cardiac rehabilitation until the medical staff recommended it, but they participated in the program with the expectation that they could become healthier. The participants felt that they became more physically and mentally healthy while undergoing cardiac rehabilitation. Rehabilitation served as an opportunity to improve other health behaviors as well. However, they emphasized that it is necessary to continuously maintain improved health behavior, find an exercise method that is suitable for one’s physical ability and not monotonous, and prepare a plan to reduce the time and economic burden of cardiac rehabilitation.Conclusion: The participants' positive experiences confirmed in this study will be used as evidence for the expansion of cardiac rehabilitation programs.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to explore effects of cardiac rehabilitation programs for coronary artery disease patients.Methods: A systematic search was performed using domestic search engines such as RISS and KISS and foreign search engines such as PubMed and CINAHL guided by preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis. The searched literature was classified according to the subject and purpose. For the quality of the literature, Mixed Method Apprasial Tools (MMAT) was used.Results: The number of final selected literature were 9, and the contents of the heart rehabilitation program included a study on how to increase the participation rate in heart rehabilitation, a comparative study between specialized and general centers, and a study incorporating smart devices and education. The effectiveness of the heart rehabilitation program was significant in the morbidity and mortality of the disease, and in the hemodynamic, physical, social, and mental state. In addition, quality of lie, waist hip ration were improved.Conclusions: Various programs using cardiac rehabilitation have been shown to be positive for the physical, social, and mental conditions, including self-management and quality of life of patients with coronary artery disease. Therefore, the development and distribution of various programs using cardiac rehabilitation should be carried out.
