Summary

This study is a single-arm, 12-week trial to test the feasibility of a PP-MI intervention for patients recently admitted following ACS. PP-MI is a novel positive psychology-based health behavior intervention that is adapted for patients hospitalized for ACS. The intervention aims to cultivate positive emotions in this vulnerable population that could provide broad and significant health benefits, and may have distinct-and more powerful-effects than simply attempting to dampen negative emotions.

The primary aim is to assess whether the intervention exercises are feasible and linked with immediate boosts in positive affect upon completion. The secondary goal is to provide the research team with greater experience recruiting inpatients with an ACS, successfully completing intervention sessions, and administering psychological and medical assessments by phone.

Conditions

  • ACS - Acute Coronary Syndrome

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Positive Psychology + Motivational Interviewing

For the positive psychology portion of the intervention, the study trainer will (a) review the week's positive psychology exercise, (b) discuss the rationale of the next week's positive psychology exercise through a guided review of the positive psychology manual, and (c) assign the next week's positive psychology exercise. For the motivational interviewing portion, participants will (a) review their physical activity goal from the prior week, (b) discuss techniques for improving physical activity, and (c) set a physical activity goal for the next week. Study trainers will use motivational interviewing techniques to facilitate goal setting.
