Goals should be clearly defined and precise, rather than vague or general.

Measurable

Goals must have criteria for measuring progress and success.

Attainable

Goals should be realistic and achievable, considering available resources and limits.

Study Notes

Goal Setting

  • A goal without a plan is just a wish (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry)
  • SMART goals are crucial for achieving objectives
  • SMART goals can be applied to various life aspects.

Creating SMART Goals (Cardiac Rehabilitation)

  • Patients should recognize their risk factors
  • Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR) programs identify risk factors for subsequent cardiac events.
  • The ultimate goal of CR is prevention (primary or secondary).
  • The patient, not the CR team, creates SMART goals.

SMART Goal Components

  • Specific: Clearly defined, detailed goals (e.g., "lose 5 pounds" vs "lose weight")
  • Measurable: Progress can be tracked (e.g., "lose 5 pounds" vs "lose some weight")
  • Attainable: Realistic and achievable goals (e.g., "lose 2 pounds per week" vs "lose 10 pounds per week")
  • Relevant: Goals are meaningful and aligned to personal needs/goals.
  • Time-bound: Goals have a timeframe for completion (e.g., "lose 5 pounds by Christmas 2024")

Pathways to SMART Goals

  • Education/Presentations: Enrolling in relevant educational sessions.
  • Counseling: Seeking guidance from a counselor
  • Support Groups: Participating in targeted support groups.
  • Behavioral Changes: Modifying behaviours (e.g., increasing exercise, improving diet).

Choosing a SMART Goal

  • Example of a properly stated SMART goal: "Lose 5 pounds by Christmas 2024"
  • Other goals assessed as unclear or not SMART.

Stating SMART Goals (CVD Risk Factors)

  • Define actions needed to manage/improve/increase CVD risk factors.
  • Pinpoint target measures (e.g., blood pressure, cholesterol).
  • Establish a timeframe for achieving a goal (e.g., short-term goals, ~1-4 months to reach long-term).
