ABSTRACT

To investigate the current status and influencing factors of physical activity among patients with cardiovascular diseases seeking emergency care. A convenience sampling method was used to select patients with cardiovascular diseases who visited the emergency department of a tertiary hospital in Chengdu from December 2023 to July 2024 as the study subjects. Data were collected through on-site questionnaire surveys and medical record reviews. The research tools included a general information questionnaire, the short form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ-SF), the Patient Health Questionnaire Depression Scale (PHQ-9), the Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale (ESES), and the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS). Data were entered into Excel, and statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS 26.0. Among the 1,080 patients, physical activity levels were generally low, with only 380 patients (37.3%) meeting the guideline-recommended level of activity. Regression analysis showed that depression score, exercise self-efficacy, and social support entered the regression equation, collectively explaining 26.7% of the total variance in physical activity among cardiovascular disease patients seeking emergency care. The physical activity status of cardiovascular disease patients is suboptimal.
