This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
After heart surgery, many patients develop fear of movement or exercise—even when it's safe to resume activity. This study is testing whether a 12-week program with multiple types of support (such as education, counseling, and guided movement) can help heart surgery patients overcome this fear and move more confidently. Researchers will compare patients who receive this support program to those who receive standard care alone.
Fear of movement after heart surgery can prevent patients from recovering fully and returning to normal activities, even when their heart has healed well. This trial aims to understand what causes this fear and whether structured, multidimensional support can help patients regain confidence and improve their quality of life.

If you join, you'll either receive a 12-week support program with structured interventions or standard care with no additional program. All participants will answer questions and surveys at five time points: when you leave the hospital, two weeks later, six weeks, twelve weeks, and six months after surgery. The study lasts about six months total, and most of your involvement will be answering questionnaires—the intensive intervention, if you're assigned to it, runs for the first 12 weeks.
