- Abstract
Background: As the population ages and more elderly individuals are undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG), there is a growing need to focus on reducing sedentary behaviour following this surgery to prevent morbidity and mortality. Objective: This pilot study sought to qualitatively evaluate the acceptability, feasibility, and outcomes of a motivational interviewing nursing intervention (MINI) for reducing sedentary behavior in elderly persons following CABG (N = 5). Method: The MINI consisted of five weekly, home-based sessions. Based on semi-structured interviews, notebook of physical activity, Abstract algorithm of stage of change, and logbook entries, we completed descriptive statistics and a thematic analysis. Results: The MINI appeared to be acceptable and feasible for the post-CABG elderly, as they progressed through the stages of change and reduced sedentary behaviour. Conclusion: Despite the need for more research, our findings suggest that a nurse-led, home-based, post-CABG intervention may support the promotion of physical activity behaviours in the elderly.
