What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating the effects of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) meditation on cardiac patients who have undergone cardiac rehabilitation. Many of these patients experience anxiety and depression, which can reduce their quality of life and interfere with their participation in rehabilitation programs. This study aims to assess the medium- and long-term impact of MBSR on anxiety and depression symptoms in this population. The study compares two approaches: a conventional cardiac rehabilitation program that includes exercise training and educational workshops daily for four weeks, and a cardiac rehabilitation program combined with MBSR meditation. The MBSR program consists of eight weekly group sessions lasting 2 hours and 30 minutes each, daily 45-minute personal meditation practice at home, and an intensive day between the 6th and 7th sessions to deepen mindfulness practices. Participants will be assessed at the start and after 12 months using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) to measure changes in anxiety and depression levels. Throughout the study, researchers will monitor participants' progress and adherence to the programs. The total participation includes the rehabilitation period and follow-up assessments to evaluate mental health outcomes over time.
