Motivational Interviewing After Coronary Stenting

Turkey (Türkiye)55 participantsStarted 2025-11-17

Plain-language summary

This study aimed to examine the effect of motivational interviewing on healthy lifestyle behaviors and biochemical parameters in patients who underwent stent implantation after coronary angiography. Specifically, it investigated whether a structured motivational interviewing program could improve patients' health-promoting behaviors and positively influence biochemical outcomes such as blood lipid levels and body mass index (BMI). The research was designed as a randomized controlled study and was conducted in the cardiology outpatient clinic of a training and research hospital in Istanbul. The study included patients diagnosed with coronary artery disease who had undergone coronary angiography followed by stent implantation and were being followed in the outpatient clinic. Participants were randomly assigned to either the intervention group or the control group. In the intervention group, patients received a motivational interviewing-based program over a three-month period. This program included face-to-face educational sessions lasting approximately 30-45 minutes, focusing on coronary artery disease, risk factors, healthy nutrition, physical activity, stress management, sleep regulation, and smoking cessation. In addition, participants received reminder messages twice a week to support behavioral change and encourage adherence to healthy lifestyle practices. The control group continued their routine medical follow-up and standard care without additional intervention. Data were collected at baseline and at the end of the third month. In the intervention group, data were additionally collected at the end of the first month. Both groups were evaluated using the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II scale, and biochemical parameters including HDL, LDL, total cholesterol, triglycerides, and BMI were measured and recorded. The study aimed to determine whether motivational interviewing could serve as an effective nursing intervention to promote sustainable lifestyle changes and improve clinical outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease following stent implantation.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
