A grounded theory approach was used in an attempt to generate theory about client perceptions and experiences of a cardiac rehabilitation program conducted in a rural community. A series of interviews was conducted with a selection of people who had experienced a life-threatening cardiac event. The cohort was divided into two groups: those who attended a cardiac rehabilitation program and those who did not. The findings, though not generalisable, allowed the generation of a number of theories (which may come to be the genesis of future research) regarding the differences in the physiological, psychological, sociological and vocational well-being between the groups. The findings also suggested that location of the program, the times it was conducted, and the communication skills of significant healthcare workers who recruited participants were important factors affecting attendance.
采用扎根理论方法，试图生成关于农村社区开展的心脏康复项目中客户认知和体验的理论。对一系列经历过危及生命的心脏事件的人进行了访谈。该队列分为两组：参加心脏康复项目的人和未参加的人。研究结果虽然无法推广，但催生了一些关于两组之间生理、心理、社会和职业幸福感差异的理论（这些理论可能成为未来研究的起源）。研究结果还表明，项目地点、开展时间以及招募参与者的重要医护人员的沟通技巧是影响参与率的重要因素。
