Brief Summary

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

Substance use disorders (SUDs) pose significant challenges to individuals' psychological well-being, resilience, and emotional adjustment. These disorders often lead to detrimental effects on physical health, mental health, and overall quality of life, creating a critical need for effective interventions that can support recovery and enhance emotional resilience. One promising approach is the implementation of nurse-led HeartMath training programs. These programs utilize evidence-based techniques to improve emotional regulation, increase resilience, and foster a sense of coherence, which is the ability to perceive life as comprehensible, manageable, and meaningful.

Detailed Description

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

The HeartMath training program, developed by the HeartMath Institute, focuses on teaching individuals self-regulation skills that promote heart-brain coherence. This state of coherence has been associated with improved cognitive function, emotional stability, and physical health. By integrating this training into the care of patients with SUDs, nurses can play a pivotal role in addressing the complex emotional and psychological needs of this population.

Brief About the Training Program

The nurse-led HeartMath training program consists of several key components designed to enhance resilience, sense of coherence, and emotional adjustment:

Heart-Focused Breathing Techniques: Patients are taught specific breathing techniques that help synchronize heart and brain activity, leading to a state of physiological coherence.

Emotional Regulation Skills: The training includes exercises that help individuals recognize and shift from negative to positive emotional states, thereby improving emotional stability and reducing stress.

Biofeedback Technology: Participants use HeartMath biofeedback devices that provide real-time feedback on their heart rhythm patterns, enabling them to monitor and improve their coherence levels.

Resilience-Building Exercises: The program incorporates activities and practices aimed at enhancing personal resilience, such as positive visualization and the cultivation of gratitude and appreciation.

Individual and Group Sessions: The training is delivered through a combination of individual coaching and group workshops, providing both personalized support and a sense of community.
