Summary

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

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.

Conditions

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Multicomponent Psychological Program (MPP)	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.
