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).
