AB Cardiac rehabilitation is cost-effective and should be considered a part of the care systemprovided to patients who have suffered a myocardial infarction or another heart disease. The mainvariable to study was the scoring, prior to and after the intervention in the General Scale of Self-Efficacyby Baessler & Schwarzer. A clinical community trial that was open controlled and randomisedwas used. All adult subjects of both sexes who had completed a cardiac rehabilitation programfor 12 months at the reference hospital were selected and offered to participate. The psychometricvariables registered were the Salamanca screening questionnaire, the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale,and the Beck Depression Inventory. Eighty-nine subjects accepted to participate in the study (93.89%response rate), with an average age of 63.01 years (SD 8.75). Once the study was concluded, the mainoutcome was a difference in means of 6.09 points in the General Scale of Self-Efficacy (p < 0.0053, 96%confidence interval—4.1950–10.29), showing that the group exposed to the intervention reached ahigher score in the above-mentioned scale. However, there were no significant differences (t-student0.1211; p = 0.943) after the estimation and contrast of population means for score differences betweenthe groups regarding the Hamilton scale. Similarly, there were no significant differences betweenthe groups regarding the means obtained in the variable score difference in the Beck DepressionInventory (t-student −0.1281; p = 0.8987). The results showed an increase in those scores related togeneral self-efficacy among the population that completed the intervention program, as compared tothe control group.
