Although the effectiveness of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs in secondary prevention is well-recognized, there is a lack of studies exploring the potential of mobile health to enhance educational interventions within CR. The objective is to assess the impact of a structured WhatsApp-assisted health educational intervention, in conjunction with the usual care, compared to the usual care alone among participants enrolled in a CR program. The trial will recruit 32 participants enrolled in a CR program, who will be randomly assigned to a structured WhatsApp-assisted health educational intervention plus usual care or usual care alone group. The intervention will span 4 weeks, with assessments at baseline, 4 weeks, and 3, 6, and 12 months. The primary outcome measure is the cardiovascular risk factors knowledge score. Secondary outcomes include physical activity levels, anxiety and depression, and quality of life. Expected results include improved knowledge of cardiovascular risk factors, increased physical activity levels, and better mental health outcomes in the intervention group. Additionally, an enhancement in the overall quality of life is anticipated. These findings are expected to underscore the value of integrating mHealth with traditional CR methods, potentially shaping future approaches in chronic disease management and prevention.
尽管心脏康复（CR）计划在二级预防中的有效性已得到充分认可，但缺乏研究探索移动健康在增强CR中的教育干预措施方面的潜力。目的是评估与常规护理相比，结构化的WhatsApp辅助健康教育干预措施联合常规护理，对参加CR计划的参与者的影响。该试验将招募32名参加CR计划的参与者，他们将被随机分配到结构化的WhatsApp辅助健康教育干预措施加常规护理组或仅常规护理组。干预将持续4周，在基线、4周、3个月、6个月和12个月时进行评估。主要结局指标是心血管危险因素知识得分。次要结局包括身体活动水平、焦虑和抑郁以及生活质量。预期结果包括干预组对心血管危险因素的了解有所改善、身体活动水平增加以及心理健康状况更好。此外，预计生活质量会整体提高。这些发现有望强调将移动健康与传统CR方法相结合的价值，可能会塑造慢性病管理和预防的未来方法。
