Introduction:
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains a leading cause
of morbidity and mortality globally. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a
multidisciplinary intervention that has been shown to improve outcomes
for patients recovering from cardiac events. While traditional CR
programs often occur in outpatient settings as physiotherapist-led
service, there is a growing interest in the effectiveness of nurse-led CR
initiatives within inpatient environments. The rise of nurse-led CR
emphasized on standardized CR programs that include core components
like exercise training, education on control of risk factors, counselling
for heart-healthy living and psychosocial support. Nurse-led programs
offer a potential solution with reported benefits on patients’ outcomes,
as well as cost-effectiveness of health care services. Nurse-led
interventions and structured cardiac rehabilitation programs remain
effective strategies for reducing 30-day readmission rates among
cardiovascular patients. The 30-day readmission rate serves as a crucial
metric for evaluating healthcare quality, particularly for patients with
cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Elevated readmission rates can indicate
gaps in patient care, education, and follow-up services. Nurse-led
programs can provide continuous care and education. Therefore, they
are essential in the inpatient setting to reduce 30-day readmission rate
and initiate the motivation of patients to continue to the next phase of
CR in outpatient setting. Despite this, there is scarce research focusing
specifically on the impact of nurse-led CR in hospitals compared to
research about physiotherapist-led CR locally and globally. Reduction
of 30-day readmission rate as an effect of nurse-led CR program is the
most prominent outcome sought for in nurse-led cardiac rehabilitation
program.
