Brief description of study
What is the purpose of this study?
The purpose of this study is to evaluate early preliminary efficacy of the eMotion intervention in US adults who have experienced a first cardiac event and participating in phase II cardiac rehabilitation.
This study will evaluate early efficacy and evaluate the cognitive processes as intervention response variables. Investigators will also examine the relationships between emotion regulation and other cognitive processes and symptoms (threat and stress, cognition and motivation), symptoms [depression, anxiety, pain, sleep, and fatigue]), and health related quality of life among adults enrolled in cardiac rehabilitation after a first cardiac event.
THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY - IU Health cardiac rehabilitation staff will provide a list of potentially eligible patients at IUH from the cardiac rehabilitation clinics where many survivors of myocardial infarction, coronary artery bypass grafting, and cardiac stent placements are participating in the phase II recovery programs. Nurses working in the cardiac rehabilitation centers will provide flyers to potentially eligible participants and send a list of newly enrolled cardiac rehabilitation participants that show interest to the study staff. Study staff will then screen patients over the phone.
