ISYDE-2008 Study presentation The Italian Survey on cardiac rehabilitation: a snapshot of current cardiac rehabilitation programmes and provides in Italy

Abstract

The Italian Society of Cardiac Rehabilitation and Prevention (GICR) has developed the ISYDE-2008 survey with the purpose to take a detailed snapshot in terms of number, distribution, facilities, staffing levels, organization, and programme details of CR units in Italy and to compare actual provision with the recommendation of National GL for CR and secondary prevention. The study will be carried out with a web-based questionnaire running on the GICR website in 2 weeks from Jan. 28 to Feb. 10, 2008. The first part of the questionnaire is designed to collect information on the institutional organization of the CR unit, on its location and functional relationships within the hospital, on the number of beds for inpatient CR units and hours of activity for outpatient and home-based services, on the composition of the core and multidisciplinary teams, and finally on the components of CR programmes. In the second part of the survey, CR directors will be requested to report for each patient discharged during the 2 weeks of the study, indications for admission to CR, time of enrolment, comorbidity, complications, risk profile, diagnostic procedures, exercise and educational programme, discharge modalities, treatment at discharge and follow-up schedule. More than 2300 pts are expected to enter in the survey, whose results depicting the status of CR in Italy will be available within April 2008.

Cardiac rehabilitation in chronic heart failure

“…14,17 In summary, the primary purpose of the ISYDE-2008 study was to take a snapshot of the current organization, settings and provision of cardiac rehabilitation in Italy and to describe the patient population referred to cardiac rehabilitation, giving a comprehensive and detailed description of clinical characteristics, risk profile, diagnostic procedures, exercise and educational program, discharge modalities, treatment at discharge and follow-up schedules. The enrollment period lasted from 28 January to 10 February 2008.…”

“…[12][13][14][15][16] In the recent past, the Italian Association for Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation [Gruppo Italiano di Cardiologia Riabilitativa (GICR)-IACPR] promoted and carried out a detailed observational study of cardiac rehabilitation programs available in Italy. 17 The broad participation of cardiac rehabilitation centers throughout Italy and the dimension of surveyed population proved to represent the real, pragmatic rehabilitation world and to describe the clinical profile of patients referred to cardiac rehabilitation programs.…”

The Monitoring of Psychosocial Factors During Hospitalization Before and After Cardiac Surgery Until Discharge From Cardiac Rehabilitation: A Research Protocol

“…The biopsychosocial model ( Engel, 1977 ) was further elaborated in the field of cardiac illness with the development of psychocardiology, which can be defined as an effort to see how psychology can contribute in the prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of patients with cardiac disease ( Molinari et al, 2006 ). The relevance of the multidisciplinary team ( Tramarin et al, 2007 ; Griffo et al, 2008 ) and also economic benefits of psychological intervention in hospitals have been highlighted, with effective teams providing increased patient safety and better information sharing about the patients ( Bettinardi et al, 2014 ; Gilardi et al, 2014 ).…”
