Cardiac rehabilitation needs
Whilst physical activity in cardiac rehabilitation is
well established, the Scottish Government’s CR
clinical champion highlighted the perceived need
for a greater focus on behaviour change and
psychological support (CPG Sept 2017).

Health Behaviour Change
CP&R services should ensure:
Health behaviour change interventions /key behaviour change techniques /up-to-date psychological evidence-base.
Training-communication skills for all staff e.g., motivational interviewing techniques/relapse prevention strategies.
Information and education - fully informed choice & menu of evidence-based programme components.
Address cardiac or other misconceptions - illness perceptions that lead to increased disability and distress.
Regular follow up /assess feedback /further goal setting .

Understanding and changing thoughts, emotions
and behaviours in:
Health e.g. help people lose weight and maintain weight
loss, stop smoking, take more exercise, attend
cervical screening, wear sunscreen, see a dentist
Illness e.g. supporting people to better manage chronic
conditions, interpret symptoms, adhere to
medication, manage pain, attend follow up
Healthcare e.g. helping health professionals to adhere to
clinical guidelines, develop skills to change
patient behaviour, engage in hand hygiene

Psychosocial health
All patients should undergo a valid assessment of:
- Psychological distress, for example, anxiety and
depression (using an appropriate tool – Hospital Anxiety and
Depression Scale (HADS).
Living With Heart Failure (MLWHF).
- Psychological stressors.
- Illness perceptions and self-efficacy for health behaviour
change.
Help to increase awareness of ways in which psychological
development, including illness perceptions, stress awareness
and improved stress management skills can affect subsequent
physical and emotional health.

Key concerns – thoughts and emotions
Cognitive reaction – how people think about their
cardiac condition/event, what they believe.
Emotional reaction- how people react emotionally
to their experience.
How the above shapes how people cope mentally
and physically to their cardiac/condition/event.

Interventions/tools using health
psychology (some examples)
Illness Perception Questionnaire (IPQ) (Weinman et al) predictive of CR attendance, psychosocial functioning post MI).
The Heart Manual programme “Within home-based CR programmes, behaviour-change techniques, such as social
support and goal setting were shown to be effective in reducing CVD risk factors, with comparable results to hospital- or centre-based programmes”
1++ (SIGN 150:p14).
Motivational Interviewing (Rollnick et al) increasing motivation
for health behaviour-change.
NHS Education :MAP Behaviour Change eLearning (for health and social care staff).
Cardiac Rehabilitation!

Summary
Health behaviour change (HBC) integral to six components of cardiac rehabilitation.
Health psychologists are specialised in HBC to help patients directly, or devise interventions and train others in HBC.
Anxiety and low mood are common reactions that without timely support can lead to more severe levels.
Health psychologists can play a crucial part in supporting individuals cope mentally and emotionally with their cardiac event/condition in order to avoid clinical levels of distress that warrant more intensive therapy.
