Aims: This study explored the effects of a Common-sense model of self-regulationbased nursing intervention on enhancing cardiac exercise rehabilitation compliance in coronary heart disease patients, aiming to improve cardiac function and overall health outcomes. Design: This study was a two-arm, parallel prospective randomized controlled trial. Methods: Participants were recruited from February to August 2024 at 3 Hospitals in Changsha, Hunan, China. Participants in the intervention group received a nursing intervention based on a Common-sense model of self-regulation and routine health education, while those in the control group received routine health education only. The 2 outcome variables included exercise compliance, level of exercise fear, brief illness perception, emotional regulation self-efficacy level, blood pressure, body mass index, six-minute walking test. Statistical methods used to analyze the data include t-test, nonparametric rank sum test.Results: 77 participants completed the study. Compared to the control group (n=38), the intervention group (n=39) showed statistically significant improvements in the outcomes of exercise compliance, level of exercise fear, level of brief illness perception, level of emotion regulation self-efficacy, blood pressure, body mass index, six-minute walk test.A Common-sense model-based cardiac exercise rehabilitation compliance intervention effectively improves health outcomes in coronary heart disease patients and can be integrated into nursing practice to enhance clinical care.(ChiCTR2400084280)
