No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Patients who have just experienced a first major cardiac event are at risk of experiencing heightened negative emotions, which further negatively impact self-management of health behaviors. For those patients in phase II cardiac rehabilitation, there is an opportunity to address physical and emotional wellbeing to optimize self-management of diet and exercise. This study will pilot test an intervention aimed at improving these patients' abilities to regulate their emotions as a mechanism to minimize psychological distress and improve self-management of diet and exercise, as well as improve quality of life. This innovative pilot will generate knowledge about the impact of emotion regulation in first event cardiac rehabilitation patients.

The intervention participants will meet with a trained interventionist for five 60-minute sessions as a group (two groups of five participants each). In the sessions time will be divided between didactic presentation of material, active practicing of techniques, group work focused on case studies, and worksheets for further practice at home. Topics covered within the intervention include emotional awareness, balancing emotional and physical wellbeing, selecting and implementing emotion regulation strategies (such as situation selections, mindfulness, engagement/avoidance, reappraisal, and emotional sharing), and emotional monitoring.
