Summary

This randomized controlled trial evaluates a "Hospital-to-Home" self-management support model for Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) patients, which is based on the integrated COM-B and HAPA theories. Participants are randomly assigned to either an intervention group receiving a structured self-management program or a control group receiving standard education. The study compares self-management behaviors and health outcomes between the two groups to assess the model's effectiveness.

Conditions

  • Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS)

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

COM-B and HAPA-based Self-management Support Program

This intervention is based on the integrated HAPA and COM-B models. Using HAPA, patients are categorized into three phases: pre-action (contemplation), action initiation (early post-discharge), and behavior maintenance (≥1 month post-discharge). Prior to discharge, a COM-B assessment identifies individual barriers and facilitators across capability, opportunity, and motivation. Tailored self-management support is then delivered according to the patient's phase and COM-B profile. The core intervention consists of one in-depth inpatient interview and three outpatient sessions for self-management planning, execution, and confirmation.

BEHAVIORAL

Routine Health Education

Participants receive routine health education and standard care according to the hospital's standard clinical pathway for ACS patients. This includes basic discharge instructions, brochures on heart-healthy lifestyles, and routine outpatient follow-up appointments. No additional structured self-management support or extra telephone follow-ups are provided beyond standard care.
