Abstract Details

2010, Master of Science, Ohio State University, Allied Medicine.
Objective: To determine personal characteristics and behavioral factors that are associated with successful nutritional outcomes among phase two cardiovascular rehabilitation patients. Design: Retrospective analysis of records from patients who completed a phase two cardiovascular rehabilitation program. Setting: Midwestern Medical Center. Participants: All records from patients who entered and completed phase two cardiac rehabilitation between December, 2008 and June, 2009 at a Midwestern Medical Center. Variables Measured: Self reported dietary habits, BMI, waist circumference, VO2max, and control variables. Analysis: Descriptive statistics and cross tabulation analyses. Results: The majority of participants improved their fat, fiber, and fruit and vegetable intake scores, as well as increased their VO2max at the conclusion of the program. There was a presence of a significant relationship between improvement in VO2max and males (p = 0.01). Conclusions/Implications: Additional research is needed to determine what specific factors are associated with positive dietary outcomes of cardiovascular rehabilitation patients who receive nutrition counseling. A better understanding of what personal characteristics and behavioral factors could impact overall nutritional outcomes may make a significant difference in targeting and delivering nutrition messages.
