A Comparative Pilot Study on the Effectiveness of Nurse-Led and LINE Robot-Guided Cardiac Rehabilitation Referrals

The goal of this pragmatic randomized trial is to compare the effectiveness of nurse-led versus LINE bot-guided strategies on patient referrals for cardiac rehabilitation in patients with acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, or status post coronary artery bypass surgery, aged 18 years and older. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does a nurse-led referral strategy increase cardiac rehabilitation referrals, attendance, and participation compared to routine care? Can a LINE bot-guided system improve cardiac rehabilitation referrals, attendance, and participation? Researchers will compare Intervention Group A (nurse-led face-to-face education), Intervention Group B (LINE bot automated referral system), and a Control Group (routine care) to see if nurse-led or LINE bot strategies are more effective in increasing referrals, attendance, and participation in cardiac rehabilitation programs. Participants will: Be randomly assigned to one of three groups. Participate in either nurse-led education, receive automated LINE bot reminders, or undergo standard care. Have their cardiac rehabilitation referrals, attendance, and participation tracked for 12 weeks post-discharge through the hospital's medical record system. This study seeks to provide healthcare professionals with evidence-based strategies for improving cardiac rehabilitation processes and enhancing patient engagement in rehabilitation programs.
