Changes in heart rate variability during an eHealth behavior change intervention program in patients with cardiovascular disease.

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk is associated with health behaviors such as physical inactivity, dietary habits, and smoking. The autonomic nervous system plays a key role in this association. The present longitudinal study examines whether ECG-based indices of autonomic nervous system activity change during an eHealth-based behavior intervention program and assesses whether improvements in health behaviors are associated with increases in parasympathetic autonomic nervous system activity.

More Than Just Treats? Effects of Grandparental Support for Children Growing up in Adversity.

This study examined whether grandparental support is a protective factor for children's socio-emotional development in the context of adversity. Using longitudinal data from the Millennium Cohort Study, we investigated the effects of grandparental support across development in children with and without adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Socio-emotional development was assessed with the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire when children were aged 3 years (N = 10,186), 5 years (N = 10,412) and 7 years (N = 10,551).

Types of depression in patients with coronary heart disease: Results from the THORESCI study.

Background: Both coronary heart diseases (CHD) and depression are highly prevalent and bidirectionally related. The precise nature of this relationship remains unclear. Defining depressive subtypes could help unravel this relationship.

Trait mindfulness during pregnancy and maternal-infant bonding: Longitudinal associations with infant temperament and social-emotional development.

Maternal love and caregiving are pillars for optimal child development and may affect infant outcomes from pregnancy onwards. The present study aimed to examine whether maternal trait mindfulness during pregnancy and pre- and postnatal maternal-infant bonding were associated with maternal perceptions of infant temperament and social-emotional development. In total, 408 Dutch women (M = 31.

Latent profiles of telehealth care satisfaction during the COVID-19 pandemic among patients with cardiac conditions in an outpatient setting.

Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, telemedicine was advocated and rapidly scaled up worldwide. However, little is known about for whom this type of care is acceptable.

Objective: To examine which patient characteristics (demographic, medical, psychosocial) are associated with telehealth care satisfaction, attitude toward telehealth, and preference regarding telehealth over time in a cardiac patient population.
