Brief Summary:
The study evaluates how various therapeutic approaches perform in addressing depression, anxiety symptoms, and stress levels among patients in the second stage of cardiac rehabilitation. This study aims to evaluate the influence of the used therapeutic approaches on psychological outcomes and to compare the effectiveness of these therapies.
Detailed Description:
Depression, anxiety, and high levels of perceived stress are increasingly common problems associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). The relationship between anxiety-depressive disorders and the risk of CVD is confirmed by behavioral and physiological mechanisms. According to the American Heart Association, depression is a negative prognostic factor at all stages of treatment of CVD. The most important risks in people with CVD and anxiety-depressive disorders, as comorbidities, are an increased risk of recurrent cardiovascular events and increased mortality. However, psychological disorders in patients with CVD are still not sufficiently diagnosed and, consequently, are not adequately treated. Therefore, it is necessary to look for effective methods to support cardiac rehabilitation from a psychological perspective.
The first group of patients will receive relaxation-therapeutic recordings (referred to as the Recording Group) in addition to monitored cardiac physical training. The second group will receive virtual reality (VR) therapy (referred to as the VR Group) alongside monitored cardiac physical training. The third group (referred to as the Control Group) will receive Schultz Autogenic Training as a standard supplement to cardiological training.
The aims of the study:
1. The evaluation of the influence of relaxation-therapeutic recordings on the anxiety-depressive symptoms and the stress level of the patients undergoing second stage of cardiac rehabilitation.
2. The comparison of the effectiveness of therapeutic recordings with the effectiveness of VR therapy and Schultz Autogenic Training.
