Overview Of Physical Activity In Patients With Coronary Heart Disease At Hospital X Jakarta

Abstract

Background Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the leading causes of death in Indonesia. Low physical activity is a significant risk factor contributing to the incidence of CHD. Structured physical activity tailored to the patient's health condition has been proven to help prevent complications and accelerate the recovery process. Therefore, monitoring the level of physical activity in CHD patients is important as part of treatment and prevention efforts. This study aims to determine the physical activity profile of CAD patients undergoing treatment at Hospital X in Jakarta. Method This study uses a descriptive design with a quantitative approach and a cross-sectional design. The sample size was 76 participants selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using the GPAQ (Global Physical Activity Questionnaire) adapted from the WHO. Results Most respondents were aged ≥ 60 years (46.1%) and more than half had a high school education (53.9%). Based on physical activity levels, the majority of respondents were in the light category (52.6%), followed by the moderate category (39.5%), and only a small proportion engaged in heavy activity (7.9%). Conclusion Patients with CHD at Hospital X in Jakarta generally have low levels of physical activity. Dominant characteristics include advanced age, male gender, secondary education, and unemployed status.
