Web-Based Lifestyle Support for Adults Recovering From Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest to Improve Quality of Life

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating an internet-based lifestyle intervention delivered through a web app to improve health-related quality of life in patients who survived an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and experience symptoms such as cognitive impairment, depression, anxiety, social functioning difficulties, and sexual dysfunction. The trial is randomized and aims to assess how this approach may support survivors in managing these challenges. The intervention group receives a multimodal web-based program focusing on anxiety, depression, and cognitive impairment. This includes knowledge development sessions and practical or gaming activities targeting cognitive skills, social relationships, emotional health, physical activity, and nutrition. The study also includes a control group receiving no intervention. Participants are followed and assessed over 12 months. During the study, participants complete various assessments including the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status, Short Form Health Survey 36, Neurobehavioural Rating Scale, Patient Competency Rating Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Sexual Interest and Satisfaction Scale, and Zarit Burden Inventory. Caregiver assessments are also included. Researchers monitor these outcomes to evaluate changes in quality of life and mental and cognitive health throughout the 12-month period.
