188 Theme F* P, N (%)** Description Quote Clear communication 21 16 (89) Found the information easy to comprehend “At least, for me, it was easy to follow, not too difficult. No, let’s say, it wasn’t overly technical language. Also, not overly simplified, but simply clear in terms of what was said and expected, yes.” Need for personalized information 17 11 (61) Needs information that is personalized to individual disease situations and preferences “All those social workers and such... For me, I think, it’s not interesting. I only do it to become physically well. That’s my goal. I don’t think I have any other issues. And then, yes... I think the app is limited in that aspect.” Need for personalized advice 11 6 (33) Needs advice that is personalized to individual disease situations and preferences “See, one piece of advice was to go for a walk. For example, walk to the supermarket. Well, I can walk a bit further as well.” Impact and Relevance Rehabilitation roadmap 22 12 (67) Felt the intervention provided a clear understanding of what can be expected during CR “You know, when all those people introduced themselves and told stories about different participants. Yeah, that was nice because you get an idea in advance of what to expect when you start the rehabilitation. So, that was quite pleasant.” Certainty during transition 12 5 (28) Felt the intervention brought a sense of certainty during the waiting period “Well, in terms of reducing uncertainties, the app did help me because if you didn’t have that app, you would fall into a void between being discharged from the hospital and starting rehabilitation. So, in that sense, the app was able to provide assistance in filling that void at some point.” Health Status Understanding 10 7 (39) Felt the intervention Provided comprehensive information about the patient’s current situation. “I received a lot of information that I wouldn’t normally get. If you haven’t had a heart attack, you don’t even think about all the information you’ve received. So, for me, it was a kind of recognition. And, actually, it was very good. So, as I said, it made me wiser.” Managing emotions 5 4 (22) Felt the intervention Helped to improve emotional wellbeing “Yeah, as I mentioned. The first time for me, last Monday, entering that room and getting back into motion. That was scary. And that had already been told in a story. Something I had heard. And it did sound familiar. In the story, I also heard that once you take that first step, it gets better. And that was absolutely true.” Prerehabilitation guidance 5 4 (22) Felt the intervention provided guidance in activities that can already be done while waiting for rehabilitation to begin. “Well, yeah, at least that I have to pay attention, that I have to balance my diet a bit, and also that I have to start exercising, and yes, everything helped.” Appendix 6A – Continued
