The intervention package had three phases including pre-intervention, intervention, and post-intervention phases. Pre-intervention: During the pre-intervention phase, patients completed the quality-of-life assessment (SF-36), perceived stress questionnaire (PSQ-14), and State and Trait Anxiety, Barthel Index (BI) and Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) questionnaires as well as a Six-minute walk test (6MWT), and 51 times walking per 5 years (at discharge, month 1 to month 42 (each month), and months 45, 48, 51, 54, 57, 60, 63, and 66). A rehabilitation plan was formulated incorporating considerations for the patient's identified strengths' and weaknesses. See the RP section.
