To assess the feasibility of a technology-assisted intervention in a hybrid cardiac rehabilitation program among patients with coronary heart disease.
This study was a two-arm parallel randomized controlled trial. Twenty-eight patients with coronary heart disease were randomly assigned to either the intervention group, receiving a 12-week technology-assisted intervention (n = 14), or the control group (n = 14), receiving usual care. Guided by the Health Belief Model, the intervention group received three center-based, supervised exercise training sessions, a fitness watch that served as a cue to action, six educational videos, and a weekly video call. The Self-efficacy for Exercise, exercise capacity, and Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile II were assessed at baseline and immediately post-intervention (12-weeks).
Among the 28 patients who participated in this study, 85.7% completed the program, with a relatively low attrition rate (14.3%). The number of exercise training sessions accomplished by the participants in the intervention group was 51.27 ± 19.41 out of 60 sessions (85.5%) compared to 36.46 ± 23.05 (60.8%) in the control group. No cardiac adverse events or hospitalizations were reported throughout the study. Participants in the intervention group showed greater improvement in health-promoting behaviors when compared with the control group at 12 weeks. Within-group effects demonstrated improvement in exercise self-efficacy and exercise capacity among participants in the intervention group. A participant satisfaction survey conducted immediately post-intervention revealed that participants were "very satisfied" (23.1%) and "satisfied" (76.9%) with the technology-assisted intervention.
The findings demonstrated that technology-assisted intervention in a hybrid cardiac rehabilitation program was feasible and suggested to be beneficial in improving exercise self-efficacy, exercise capacity, and health promoting behavior among patients with coronary heart disease. A full-scale study is needed to determine its effectiveness in the long term.

评估一项技术辅助干预措施在冠心病混合心脏康复计划中的可行性。
这是一项双臂平行随机对照试验。将 28 例冠心病患者随机分为干预组（n=14）和对照组（n=14），分别接受 12 周的技术辅助干预和常规护理。以健康信念模式为指导，干预组接受 3 次中心监督的运动训练课程、一个健身手表作为行动提示、6 个教育视频和每周一次的视频通话。在基线和干预后（12 周）评估自我效能感、运动能力和健康促进生活方式量表 II。
在参加这项研究的 28 名患者中，85.7%的患者完成了治疗方案，失访率相对较低（14.3%）。与对照组（60.8%）相比，干预组的患者完成了 60 次运动训练课程中的 51.27±19.41 次（85.5%）。在整个研究过程中，没有报告心脏不良事件或住院治疗。与对照组相比，干预组患者的健康促进行为在 12 周时改善更为明显。组内效应显示，干预组患者的运动自我效能感和运动能力均有所提高。干预后即刻进行的一项参与者满意度调查显示，参与者对技术辅助干预“非常满意”（23.1%）和“满意”（76.9%）。
研究结果表明，混合心脏康复计划中的技术辅助干预是可行的，并提示该方法有助于改善冠心病患者的运动自我效能感、运动能力和健康促进行为。需要进行更大规模的研究来确定其长期效果。
