Summary

The focus of this study is to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary impact of a 12-week, telephone-delivered, positive psychology (PP)-based health behavior intervention in a group of patients with mild to moderate heart failure (HF), compared to a motivational interviewing- (MI-) based education condition and treatment as usual (TAU).

Conditions

  • Congestive Heart Failure
  • Emotions
  • Patient Compliance

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

PP-based health behavior intervention

The positive psychology exercises include 3 modules: gratitude-based activities, strength-based activities, and meaning-based activities. The goal-setting portion of the program focuses primarily on physical activity (8 weeks) but also includes 4 weeks focusing on diet and medication adherence.

BEHAVIORAL

MI-based educational control condition

The MI-based educational program includes information on five topics: (1) information about heart disease and risk factors for worsening heart disease, (2) physical activity, (3) a heart-healthy diet, (4) medication adherence, and (5) stress management.
