Anxiety and Fear of Exercise in Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation: PATIENT AND PRACTITIONER PERSPECTIVES
Open accessAbstract
PURPOSE: One unexplored mechanism for poor outcomes in cardiovascular and pulmonary rehabilitation (CVPR) is fear about aerobic exercise. Patients in CVPR may tend to avoid aerobic exercise because of the fear of physical sensations associated with exertion. This study examined fear about exercise in patients enrolled in outpatient CVPR and practitioner beliefs and behaviors related to fear associated with exercise. METHODS: Survey data were collected from patients (n = 117) enrolled in cardiac rehabilitation (n = 69) and pulmonary rehabilitation (n = 48) and practitioners (n = 16) who were exercise physiologists and nurses working in CVPR. RESULTS: Fears about exercise and avoidance behaviors were common among patients. In pulmonary rehabilitation, fears and avoidance of exercise were correlated with higher levels of anxiety and depression (r values = 0.27-0.54), lower forced expiratory volume in the first second of expiration/forced vital capacity (r values = -0.13 to -0.39), lower health-related quality of life (r values = -0.13 to -0.62), and stronger beliefs about utility of anxiety treatment (r values = 0.21-0.36). In cardiac rehabilitation, fears about exercise were correlated with higher levels of anxiety (r values = 0.19-0.38), lower mental health quality of life (r values = -0.25 to -0.27), and stronger beliefs about utility of anxiety treatment (r values = 0.30-0.40), and avoidance of exercise was correlated with lower exercise tolerance and poorer physical health quality of life (r values = -0.22 to -0.24). Practitioners estimated that an average of 47 ± 20% of patients experience fear associated with exercise and reported low feelings of preparedness to address patient anxiety and fear. CONCLUSIONS: It may be beneficial to provide practitioners with skills to recognize and address anxiety and fear in their patients as it relates to exercise.

“15 Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) could be one way to decrease anxiety in patients with CVD. 16 Access to CBT is limited due to a lack of therapists, leading to a large treatment-demand gap; i.e. many patients will not have access to CBT in spite of need.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
