Full description
This is a single-arm, proof-of-concept trial to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of the Ready for Recovery program. Ready for Recovery is a 6-week collaborative care program to prepare individuals for surgical procedures to repair an aortic aneurysm. Participants will speak with a study trainer on the phone each week and will set goals related to physical activity, a healthy diet, and inspiratory muscle training. They also will be given resources to reduce stress, treat anxiety and depression (if present), and stop smoking, and the study team will make recommendations regarding medication adjustments to reduce complications after surgery. The primary outcome is feasibility (measured by percentage of phone sessions completed). Secondary outcomes include acceptability (measured by weekly 0-10 utility ratings) and preliminary impact on functional, psychological, and health behavior outcomes.
