dc.description.abstractAim: This study aimed to assess the awareness of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) among patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) in Hatay. Methods: In the study, 218 patients (44.5% male, 55.5% female) in an age range of 18 to 84 [median 57(46.75–65.25) years] with CVD completed an awareness questionnaire, which included 35 items that addressed knowledge about CVD, CR features and content, CR effectiveness, reasons for not participating in CR programs, and general knowledge about CR. Results: Ninety-seven (44.5%) participants stated that they had knowledge about CVD, and 29.5% thought CR was required to prevent heart diseases. Fifty-nine subjects expressed they knew the exercises they needed to practice for CVD. Participants mostly accepted that CR effectively regulated blood lipids and blood pressure and managed blood glucose, obesity, and general well-being. One hundred patients (45.7%) reported that they did not participate in a CR program because they had no knowledge of CR. Most participants (60.6%) were undecided about whether the CR program was available in their city and whether it would be beneficial in treating heart diseases (50.5%). Men, young people, and people with higher education levels were more aware of the components of CR (p<0.05). Conclusion: There was a lack of awareness regarding the content of CR, especially in exercise and protective factors for CVDs in Hatay. Seminars are needed to increase the awareness of CR in the community. Health professionals should encourage patients with cardiovascular disease to support the outreach of the CR program.en_US
