Improving Therapeutic Adherence in Cardiovascular Secondary Prevention.
Sponsor: Universidad Miguel Hernandez de Elche
Summary
The goal of this open label randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the efficacy of an intervention through health education based on the Chronic Care Model's implementation to increase therapeutic adherence in patients with secondary prevention for cardiovascular disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Null hypothesis (H0): In patients in cardiovascular secondary prevention, an intervention based on the application of the Chronic Care Model does not improve therapeutic adherence to the 3 preventive drugs: Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors/Angiotensin II receptor blockers, acetylsalicylic acid, and statins. * Alternative hypothesis (H1): In patients in cardiovascular secondary prevention, an intervention based on the application of the Chronic Care Model improves therapeutic adherence to the 3 preventive drugs: Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors/Angiotensin II receptor blockers, acetylsalicylic acid, and statins. Researchers will compare intervention group (health education, use of mobile phones, personalized dosage system) to the control group (routine follow-up).

Interventions
(Health education program) To increase therapeutic adherence in patients with secondary prevention for cardiovascular disease
The intervention involves a comprehensive health education program based on the Chronic Care Model to increase therapeutic adherence in patients with secondary prevention for cardiovascular disease. The program includes the following components: Health Education Sessions: Education on the importance of adherence, understanding the disease, side effects of medications, and their management. It addresses personal beliefs and concerns. Mobile Phone Reminders: Use of alarms and the ti.care® app to remind patients to take their medications. Medication Verification: Ensuring that the medications and dosages taken match the prescriptions. Personalized Dosing Systems (PDS): Helping manage medication intake. Additional Health Advice: Control of other cardiovascular risk factors and benefits of the Mediterranean diet.
