Why is it important?
This paper reports on patient perceptions of this home base cardiac rehabilitation program and in particular outcomes associated with the mentor-patient relationship
Perspectives
Training nurses to become mentors is a new model of service delivery being trialled in Australia to improve rural patients access to cardiac rehabilitation and secondary prevention. Patients are often unable to access cardiac rehabilitation services due to availability and distance to hospital based services. Patients were satisfied with the program's educational resources and the support and expertise provided by their nurse mentors
