Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate medical cost-effectiveness reduce the psychological risk factors including hostility anxiety depression and perceived stress in coronary artery disease CAD patients and enhance the regulation of the autonomic nervous system including respiration rate heart rate distal blood vessel pulse and finger temperament through web-based cognitive -behavioral group therapy
Detailed Description:
Cognitive-behavioral therapy CBT is effective in reducing the level of anger hostility and depression present in coronary artery disease CAD patientsIn Taiwan Weng et al also confirmed the eight-week group CBT program not only diminished the emotion disturbances including anger hostility and depression of CAD but also significantly prolonged the coagulation time thus reducing the rate of thrombosis formation Even though the therapeutic effect of the CBT program was valid this program is still not accessible for some patients in need because they are not aware of it or they are restricted by time and transportation Internet-based therapeutic intervention can overcome the obstacles to access this program at any time and in any place Presently structured CBT intervention is provided through the Internet and used widely by patients with physical or psychological problems such as smoking obesity or headaches but not by CAD patients Therefore the purpose of this research is to evaluate the effects to reduce the psychological risk factors of a web-based group CBT program in CAD patients Follow-up assessments will be performed after 3 and 6-month durations The investigators expect that after an eight-week group intervention there will be significant decrease of the psychological risk factors Moreover the therapeutic effects can be maintained during the three- and six-month follow-upevaluate In addition web-based cognitive -behavioral group therapy will significantly reduce indirect medical costs travel time and money
