Description
Eight researchers report the PsicoCare trial in 2024, a small test of mind-focused care after a heart attack or similar heart crisis. Mood and stress shape how patients heal, yet such care is rare in heart rehab programs. The trial paired talk therapy skills with positive psychology work and compared the mix with standard rehab alone.
The trial enrolled eighty-seven patients and checked them at the start, two months, and nine months. The treated group showed less depression and better control of anger than the control group. Their thinking skills, social support, and faith-based coping also held up better over time. Fitness and medical results improved much the same in both groups. The authors call for a larger trial to confirm the gains in mood and daily life.
