A Web-Based Tailored Nursing Intervention to Increase Walking in Patients After an Acute Coronary Syndrome

The intervention goal is to increase up to 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity physical activity through walking. The intervention is underpinned by Strengths-Based Nursing Care that specifies nursing values, and by Self-Determination Theory that specifies variables to tailor the intervention. The four intervention strategies are: 1) Providing information and feedback, 2) Exploring reasons to build motivation, 3) Exploring strengths to build confidence (self-efficacy), and 4) Developing an action plan to maintain motivation and confidence (self-efficacy). The TAVIE system platform is designed to provide a fully automated, easy to navigate website, and the main mode of delivery is video clips of a 'virtual nurse' who presents the tailored intervention content.
