Summary

The main aim of the study is to determine the effectiveness of an educational intervention designed to increase attendance of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) patients at Cardiac Rehabilitation Programs (CRPs) on actual CRP participation rate and; examine patient-related factors (demographic, health, psychosocial, awareness) influencing patients' attendance at CRPs. We hypothesized that the proportion of CABG patients participating in CRPs will increase significantly to 20-30% following the educational intervention employed.

Increasing awareness to cardiac rehabilitation programs

Increasing awareness to cardiac rehabilitation programs: Before coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery patients received a face-to-face explanation on their right to participate in cardiac rehabilitation programs (CRPs) under the Israeli Basket of Health Services; they were also provided with a brochure on the benefits of CRP participation and the availability of CRPs throughout the country.
