Interventions

  • Remote-delivery Balance in Everyday Life (rBEL) Program for Myocardial Infarction Patients Younger Than 55 Years With Cardiac Distress — BEHAVIORAL
    The Remote-delivery Balance in Everyday Life (rBEL) program is a 13-week therapist-supported behavioral stress recovery intervention for adults younger than 55 years who have experienced a myocardial infarction and report cardiac distress. The program includes six individual online sessions delivered by a therapist, a printed exercise workbook, and online video materials. The content focuses on recovery behaviors, relaxation training, self-monitoring, use of recovery strategies in daily life and work settings, and management of heart-related worry and anxiety.

Study Details

The goal of this feasibility study is to learn if the randomised controlled trial evaluating the Remote-delivery Balance in Everyday Life (rBEL) programme for adults younger than 55 years who have experienced a myocardial infarction (MI), is feasible. The objective is to examine the feasibility of the rBEL programme and the associated study procedures before a controlled evaluation of the programme. This is an uncontrolled, single-arm, pre-post treatment designed study. Participants of the target population will take part of the six session over 13 week programme. Feasibility will be evaluated against predefined feasibility criteria regarding study procedures and programme acceptability.
