项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Preventing medical events is a critical public health concern, and adherence to recommended health behaviors can play a major role in such prevention. A key example of the importance of health behavior is in the secondary prevention of recurrent cardiovascular events in patients suffering an acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Despite the undeniable importance of health behaviors (e.g., physical activity, following a low-fat diet) in post-ACS patients, many are unable to follow these medical recommendations. Positive psychological states, especially optimism, have been linked to greater participation in healthy behaviors and superior cardiovascular outcomes in persons with and without heart disease. An emerging field of psychological interventions has focused on increasing the frequency and intensity of positive states, and these 'positive psychology' programs have consistently led to improvements in happiness, reductions in depression, and improvements in overall well-being in healthy individuals. However, such interventions have not been well-studied in ACS patients, and their effect on health behaviors has not been examined. Consistent with PA-11-063 (Translating Basic Behavioral and Social Science Discoveries into Interventions to Improve Health-Related Behaviors), we propose a multi-step treatment development project to utilize positive psychological interventions to improve specific health behaviors (physical activity, diet, and medication adherence) in patients initially hospitalized with ACS. We will perform qualitative research via semi-structured interviews to better understand the relationship between positive emotions and health behaviors in this cohort, and will design a positive psychological intervention that is suited to this population. We will then pilot test components of this intervention to assess initial feasibility/acceptability and understand the optimal components and 'dosing' of the intervention. Finally, we will end with a small randomized efficacy trial of our revised treatment in ACS patients. The trials in this grant will enroll a minimum of 208 subjects admitted with ACS, and will utilize a phone-based intervention to improve feasibility and reduce cost. The primary outcome measure for studies in this grant will be physical activity, as measured via an accelerometer. We selected this outcome because of the importance of this health behavior and the substantial difficulty that many ACS patients have in initiating and maintaining a physical activity regimen, and because positive emotions have been linked to greater physical activity. Given that the intervention may have broader effects, however, we will also measure the impact of our intervention on following a heart-healthy diet (evaluated via structured assessment) and adhering to medication (aspirin, as measured by cap openings). By the end of the grant period, we will have (in concordance with the PA) created a viable positive psychology- based intervention that will be ready for testing in a larger, multisite efficacy trial that is adequately powered to detect significant improvements in physical activity and other important health behaviors in ACS patients.

描述（由申请人提供）：预防医疗事件是一个至关重要的公共卫生问题，遵守建议的健康行为可以在这种预防中发挥重要作用。健康行为重要性的一个关键例子是在患有急性冠状动脉综合征（ACS）的患者中次要预防复发性心血管事件。尽管健康行为的重要性不可否认（例如，体育锻炼，在低脂之后饮食）在ACS后患者中，许多人无法遵循这些医疗建议。积极的心理状态，尤其是乐观，已经与患有或没有心脏病的人的健康行为和出色的心血管结局有关。新兴的心理干预领域的重点是增加积极状态的频率和强度，这些“积极的心理学”计划始终导致幸福感，抑郁症的减少以及健康个体的整体幸福感的改善。但是，这种干预措施尚未在ACS患者中得到充分研究，并且尚未检查其对健康行为的影响。与PA-11-063一致（将基本的行为和社会科学发现转化为干预措施以改善与健康相关的行为），我们提出一个多步骤的开发项目，以利用积极的心理干预措施来改善特定的健康行为（体育活动，饮食，饮食，饮食，最初用ACS住院的患者中的药物依从性）。我们将通过半结构化访谈进行定性研究，以更好地了解该队列中积极情绪与健康行为之间的关系，并设计一种适合该人群的积极心理干预。然后，我们将进行此干预措施的测试组件，以评估最初的可行性/可接受性，并了解干预措施的最佳组成部分和“给药”。最后，我们将在ACS患者中对经过修订的治疗进行小型随机疗效试验结束。该赠款中的试验将至少注册208名ACS的受试者，并将利用基于电话的干预措施来提高可行性并降低成本。通过加速度计测量，该赠款中研究的主要结果指标将是体育活动。我们之所以选择这种结果，是因为这种健康行为的重要性以及许多ACS患者在启动和维持体育活动方案中遇到的重大困难，并且由于积极的情绪与更大的体育锻炼有关。但是，鉴于干预措施可能会产生更广泛的影响，我们还将衡量干预对遵循心脏健康饮食（通过结构化评估进行评估）并粘附在药物方面的影响（阿司匹林，按CAP开放式开口衡量）。到赠款期结束时，我们将（与PA一致）创建一个可行的积极心理学干预措施，该干预措施将准备在更大的多站点效力试验中进行测试这足以检测ACS患者的体育活动和其他重要健康行为的显着改善。
