Abstract

This study was quasi-experimental research, using a two-group, pre-test/post-test design. The objective was to study the effect of a self-efficacy program for cardiac rehabilitation in combination with applied Qigong effects on dyspnea in patients with congestive heart failure. The sample group is patients diagnosed with left ventricular heart failure admitted to the internal medicine and/or cardiac intensive care unit at a supra-tertiary hospital, 64 patients selected a purposive, 32 people in the control group received normal nursing care, and the experimental group, who received a self-efficacy program to rehabilitate the heart with applied qigong, designed for 10 weeks in a group of 32 people. The research tools consisted of a self-efficacy program to rehabilitate the heart with applied qigong, designed for 10 weeks, the personal information questionnaire, the dyspnea symptom scale, and the self-efficacy scale in heart failure patients. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and t-test.

The study found that after participating in the self-efficacy program for cardiac rehabilitation combined with applied qigong, the mean scores of dyspnea in the experimental group (Mean=1.84, SD=1.08) were lower than the control group (Mean=23.28, SD=2.65) (P<0.001).   

The study suggests for healthcare providers who take care of patients with heart failure, this program may be considered for use in caring for heart failure patients to reduce dyspnea.
