Abstract
Rural women are less likely to meet the recommended physical activity guidelines, which leads to poor health outcomes such as cardiovascular disease (CVD). Adherence to physical activity is critical in preventing CVD and recurring cardiac events. Heart disease is one of Louisiana's major diseases. In Louisiana, women ages 55 to 64 had the highest risk factors for CVD and heart attack. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of a 6-week text messaging intervention on the effects of physical activity and physical activity self-efficacy among Northeast Louisiana women with cardiovascular disease. A randomized controlled trial with a pretest-posttest design of two groups (control and intervention) was the research design employed for this study.
