Effects of a brief intervention based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy versus usual care for cardiac rehabilitation patients with coronary heart disease (ACTonHEART): a randomised controlled trial
Overview
This randomized controlled trial investigates the short-term efficacy of a brief, manualized Acceptance and Commitment Therapy intervention compared to usual care for patients with coronary heart disease in cardiac rehabilitation. The study enrolled ninety-two participants who were assigned to either the ACT group or the control group receiving standard multidisciplinary care. Researchers measured primary outcomes including LDL cholesterol, blood pressure, BMI, and psychological well-being at baseline and after six weeks. The results indicated no significant difference between groups for the primary outcomes, though a significant time effect was observed for psychological well-being.
