Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The distress management program (cognitive behavioral therapy) delivered in groups by a specialistnurse, a pedagogue and a cardiologist all trained in the distress management program. The program delivered to participants into three group- sessions extensive two hours each during a five weeks period 2011-2013.
Eligible participants were all consecutive identified when discharge after hospital care due to atrial fibrillation. The random process were managed by an open-label computer as block - randomization. Participants were enrolled and randomized during 2011-2013 into two arms; either to an experiment group to the distress management program or the control group. The trial, run alongside the standard care all of the participants received at a cardiology unit in a county hospital. The standard care was required to following actual guidelines.
