OBJECTIVES: To examine the types and influences of health behavior goals self-selected by post hospitalized cardiac patients. METHODS: Subjects participated in a trial assessing the effectiveness of a health behavior change program. RESULTS: Nearly 95% of smokers and 89.7% of patients with elevated weights selected a smoking and/or dietary modification goal, respectively. Only 43.8% of physical activity goal patients started a rehabilitation program. Although no consistent relationships were found between patient characteristics and type of goal(s) selected, significant improvements in readiness to change levels occurred. CONCLUSIONS: Many patients can make health behavior progress consistent with behaviors needing improvements by clinical criteria.
