Description
De-Jing Yuan and co-authors report their 2026 trial testing whether writing down good daily events helps older heart patients who feel anxious. Poor mood can slow recovery after heart disease care.
A total of 309 older patients with coronary heart disease and anxiety were split into two groups, with 154 asked to record positive events. Mood, confidence, and how well patients followed treatment were checked at three and six months after discharge. The recording group felt less anxious and scored higher on confidence and treatment-following scales. The low-cost habit may support both mood and heart recovery in older patients.
