What this Trial Is About
This research aims to improve health care decisions by focusing on patients' own health goals and preferences. It targets women who have had a cardiovascular event, active cardiac symptoms, or multiple risk factors such as diabetes or hypertension. The study evaluates a tool designed to help patients choose specific, measurable, and realistic health behavior goals to encourage better adherence and increase confidence in managing their health. Participants use a behavioral decision tool that guides them to set SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-based) health goals. The study is conducted at a women's heart clinic where a multidisciplinary team including a cardiologist, nurse, nutritionist, physical therapist, and psychologist supports patients. Patients meet with all team members initially and receive personalized assessments and goal-setting assistance. Follow-up appointments are scheduled based on clinical needs, with some visits possibly conducted remotely. During the study, participants provide baseline information and complete questionnaires about their health behaviors, mental health, and quality of life. They are followed with telephone or video check-ins at 1, 2, 4, and 5 months, and in-person or remote visits at 3 and 6 months to assess nutrition, physical activity, and self-efficacy. Researchers measure outcomes including goal adherence and health self-efficacy, as well as weight, cardiovascular risk, experiential avoidance, and blood pressure.
