Randomized controlled trial of a well-being intervention in cardiac patients.

Objective: Positive psychological well-being interventions have demonstrated promise in improving both psychological and physical health-related outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), but evidence of the efficacy of these interventions with individuals with CAD is limited. As such, we developed an eight-week group-based intervention targeting eudaimonic aspects of psychological well-being in a randomized pilot trial. The primary aims of the trial were feasibility and acceptability, and we also explored the intervention's effectiveness on psychological outcomes.
