Abstract：Objective To explore the relationship between motivation,perception of social support and adherence to cardiac rehabilitation(CR)in post-percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)patients,and to provide reference for taking targeted measures to improve patients'adherence to rehabilitation.Methods A total of 319 post-PCI patients from three grade-A tertiary hospitals in Shaanxi and Xinjiang were investigated and analyzed by using general data survey method,CR scale,perceived social support scale,and CR adherence evaluation questionnaire.Results Post-PCI patients had a score of 73.59±6.50 for perception of social support,73.32±6.45 for motivation,and 27.86±4.33 for CR adherence.Post-PCI patients'perception of social support was positively correlated with motivation and CR adherence(both P＜0.01).Motivation partially mediated the relationship between perception of social support and CR adherence,and the mediating effect accounted for 27％of the total effect.Conclusion Perception of social support directly predicts CR adherence,and motivation plays a partial mediating role between them.Healthcare professionals can help patients establish a positive mindset by creating good social support,and then enhance their willingness to recover to improve their adherence.
