Journal of Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation and Prevention
Scope & Guideline
Elevating clinical practices with evidence-based research.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Cardiac Rehabilitation Effectiveness:
The journal explores the effectiveness of various cardiac rehabilitation programs, including their impact on fitness, quality of life, and psychological outcomes for patients recovering from cardiac events. - Innovative Rehabilitation Techniques:
Research on innovative rehabilitation techniques, such as virtual and telehealth interventions, inspiratory muscle training, and high-intensity interval training, is a core focus, emphasizing the need for modern approaches in rehabilitation. - Patient-Centered Care:
The journal emphasizes patient-centered care, examining factors influencing patient adherence to rehabilitation programs and the role of psychological well-being in recovery. - Population Health and Disparities:
Research addressing health disparities among different populations, including racial, socioeconomic, and geographic factors affecting access to and participation in cardiac rehabilitation is a significant focus area. - Pulmonary Rehabilitation:
The scope includes pulmonary rehabilitation, particularly its integration with cardiac rehabilitation for patients with coexisting conditions, highlighting comprehensive approaches to patient management.
Trending and Emerging
- Telehealth and Remote Rehabilitation:
The increasing prevalence of telehealth as a viable means for delivering cardiac rehabilitation services has emerged as a significant theme, particularly in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. - Mental Health Integration:
There is a growing emphasis on the integration of mental health considerations into rehabilitation, with research focusing on anxiety, depression, and psychosocial factors affecting recovery. - Diversity and Inclusion in Research:
Emerging studies focusing on health disparities and the experiences of diverse populations in cardiac rehabilitation highlight the journal's commitment to addressing social determinants of health. - Comorbidity Management:
Research exploring the management of comorbid conditions alongside cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation is on the rise, reflecting a holistic approach to patient care. - Personalized Rehabilitation Approaches:
The trend toward personalized medicine is evident, with increasing interest in tailoring rehabilitation interventions to individual patient needs, preferences, and characteristics.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Rehabilitation Methods:
There has been a noticeable decline in research focused solely on traditional, center-based rehabilitation methods, as newer modalities like virtual and hybrid rehabilitation gain prominence. - Single-Disease Focus:
Research that addresses only single-disease populations (e.g., cardiac rehabilitation without considering comorbid conditions) appears to be waning, as integrative approaches become more favored. - Basic Exercise Physiology Studies:
Studies focused solely on basic exercise physiology without direct application to rehabilitation outcomes or patient-centered approaches are less frequently published, reflecting a shift towards more applied research.
