Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Study to try to clarify the role of the dimensions of positive psychology as cardioprotective factors, controlling the classic CVR factors, both biomedical and psychosocial, as well as develop and test the effectiveness of a program Protocolized Psychological Intervention (PI), in a randomized clinical trial.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

It is intended to develop a collaborative study between Hospital Universitario 12 de October and the Faculty of Psychology of the Camilo José Cela University of Madrid to try to clarify the role of the dimensions of positive psychology as cardioprotective factors, controlling the classic CVR factors, both biomedical and psychosocial, as well as develop and test the effectiveness of a Protocolized Psychological Intervention, in a randomized clinical trial that will be developed in different phases of the cardiac recovery process in people who have had an acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The psychological intervention will include (1) a brief early intervention during hospitalization (based on psychoeducation, relaxation techniques, behavioral activation and focus on positive attitudes), and (2) during the follow-up phases, from two months after the hospital discharge, an intervention that will be made up of different packages depending on the individual profile (management of emotions, lifestyle healthy, post-traumatic growth and resilience, consolidation of intentions), versus a control group that will follow the standard cardiac rehabilitation program.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR) + Multicomponent Psychological Program (MPP):

The patients who are assigned to this treatment arm will have access to a psychological intervention program, which will use techniques from the positive psychology and motivational interviewing to work on several modules: Health pills (phase I), CR in phase II identical to the standar, and MPP interspersed in Phase II of the conventional program. An individualized program will be included in this branch, which will be added to the follow-up carried out in primary care. It will contain a post-traumatic growth module, an emotion management module, and an intention consolidation module.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Multicomponent Psychological Program (MPP)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Patients will receive "health pills" during hospital admission. This intervention will be brief for individual application, but without specific content for each person, protocolized in its content and tools, and with a cognitive-behavioral orientation. Its therapeutic objective is to provide the patient with immediate control strategies for negative emotions and some pattern of active and positive coping. Two months after hospital discharge, the patients will also receive a multicomponent psychological program of a group nature. Based on motivational interviewing and positive psychology, with two blocks: emotions and consolidation of intentions. Two individual sessions will be carried out at the beginning to be able to do individual orientation, plan the intervention protocol, determine the objectives, the group intervention, and the specific action packages that the patient will receive.

Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR)

The patient will follow the usual process of cardiac rehabilitation.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
