Outcome measures
Primary outcome
The main endpoint is level and type of information needs and information
seeking behaviour.
Secondary outcome
Secondary endpoint is association between the level of information needs and
the following possible determinants: socio-demographic factors, level of health
literacy, illness perceptions (B-IPQ), anxiety (HADS), depression (HADS), type
D personality (DS14)and quality of life (SF36).
The development of information needs and information seeking behaviour over
time, given the cardiac rehabilitation.
Background summary
Cardiac rehabilitation and secondary prevention (CRSP) programs consists of
multi-disciplinary interventions aiming at physical, psychological and social
recovery of cardiac patients after a cardiac event or therapeutic intervention.
Additional goals include lifestyle changes and improvement of medication
adherence. In order to achieve these goals, it is important that information is
provided regarding the nature of their disease and risk factors.
Although information programs have been shown to be beneficial for cardiac
patients, there is little knowledge on the specific information needs and
information seeking behaviour in these patients. In addition, more insight is
needed into factors that influence information needs and / or seeking
behaviour. Such knowledge may contribute to the development of more efficient
information programs, better tailored to the patients needs.
Study objective
The main goal of this study is to investigate information needs and seeking
behaviour in patients entering cardiac rehabilitation. Secondary goals are to
investigate changes in information needs and seeking behaviour directly after
cardiac rehabilitation and at 1-year follow up, and to identify determinants of
information needs.
Study design
Prospective observational study
Study burden and risks
The investment that is asked of patients consists of the filling out of
questionnaires at three different moments in time. The total amount of time
that patients are estimated to spend on this is 70 minutes (30 minutes for the
first measurement and 20 minutes for each following moment). Besides the time
investment there are questions concerning psychological functioning and
personality aspects, which may be intimate for patients.
There are no risks for patients when participating in this study
