A descriptive, correlational approach was used to examine the relationship between success with a recommended cardiac lifestyle and satisfaction with a cardiac rehabilitation programme 1 year following completion The Cardiac Lifestyle Questionnaire (CLQ) and the Programme Satisfaction Questionnaire (PSQ) evaluated success in eight lifestyle dimensions and four satisfaction areas Seventy‐two participants (85 7%) returned questionnaires Successful lifestyle dimensions included exercise, tobacco, alcohol and weight, diet, stress and hypertension were unsuccessful Two open‐ended programme satisfaction questions revealed that ‘caring’ and ‘individualized’ approaches were most favoured by participants These provide direction for high‐quality care in cardiac rehabilitation programmes Discriminant analysis did not yield a statistically significant separation of groups relative to cardiac lifestyle on the basis of programme satisfaction areas
