Motivational Interviewing Effect on Reducing Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors

Muş Alparslan University40 enrolled

Overview

Aim: The aim of this study is to examine the effect of motivational interviewing-based training program on reducing cardiovascular disease risk factors in adults. Methods: In the first stage, individuals' CVD risk levels were determined. In the second stage, a 6-session motivational interview-based training program was applied to the intervention group with a medium CVD risk level (HearthSCORE score between 2 and 5 points). Brochures were distributed to the control group.

The aim of this study is to determine the CVD risks of adult individuals between the ages of 40-70 and to evaluate the effect of a motivational interview-based training program on reducing modifiable risk factors in individuals with moderate CVD risk. Hypothesis; A 6-session motivational interview-based training program aimed at reducing CVD risk factors reduces the risk level in the intervention group more than the control group. This study will be carried out in 2 stages. In the first phase, risk prevalence screening will be carried out to determine the CVD risks of individuals between October and November 2023. In the 2nd phase, a randomized controlled study will be conducted to evaluate the intervention program for individuals at medium risk level (HeartScore® between 2 and 5).

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

change is CVD risk level

In the first phase of the research, the "HeartScore®" program will be used to determine the CVD risk levels of individuals. Thanks to this program, the CVD risk levels of individuals will be learned and primary protection will be provided. According to "HeartScore®", CVD risk is discussed in 4 categories. * 10%, very high risk, * 5% - \<10%, high risk, Medium risk between ≥2-\<5%, If \<1%, they are in the low risk category. As the score increases, the CVD risk level increases.

Time frame: 24 week

Secondary Outcomes

Change in Physical Activity Level

Physical activity level was measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ). Sitting 1.5 MET Walking 3.3 MET Moderate Intensity Physical Activity 4.0 MET Vigorous Physical Activity 8.0 MET Short form (7 questions); It provides information on time spent awake, moderate to vigorous intensity activities, and time spent sitting. The IPAQ categorically classifies individuals as "inactive," "minimally active," and "very active."
