About this study
Official title: Positive Psychology for Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients: A proof-of Concept Feasibility Trial
This study is a single-arm, 12-week trial to test the feasibility of a PP-MI intervention for patients recently admitted following ACS. PP-MI is a novel positive psychology-based health behavior intervention that is adapted for patients hospitalized for ACS. The intervention aims to cultivate positive emotions in this vulnerable population that could provide broad and significant health benefits, and may have distinct-and more powerful-effects than simply attempting to dampen negative emotions.
The primary aim is to assess whether the intervention exercises are feasible and linked with immediate boosts in positive affect upon completion. The secondary goal is to provide the research team with greater experience recruiting inpatients with an ACS, successfully completing intervention sessions, and administering psychological and medical assessments by phone.
Read the detailed description
The initial study visit will occur in-person two weeks after discharge from the hospital. Participants will meet with a member of the study staff (the study "trainer") and complete self-report questionnaires assessing health behavior adherence and mental and physical health. Then, a study interventionist will provide a treatment manual for the positive psychology + motivational interviewing intervention, review the rationale for the initial exercise, and assign the first exercise. If the participant is in the positive psychology + motivational interviewing condition, the trainer will explain the rationale for both the positive psychology and goal-setting and motivational interviewing portions of the program, and will be assigned the first exercise. Participants will then be given an accelerometer, which they will be asked to wear for 7 days to ensure that they are comfortable with the device and that useable data can be obtained from the participant. Participants will then complete twelve 30-minute weekly phone sessions with a study trainer. The phone sessions primarily will include a review of the prior week's session content and a discussion of the rationale and assignment of the next week's exercise/assignment. Upon the completion of these calls, a blinded member of the study staff will call participants to administer self-report outcome measures. Participants will also be asked to wear an accelerometer at the follow-up timepoint as an objective measure of physical activity, which they will return by mail to the study staff.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Positive Psychology + Motivational InterviewingBehavioural
For the positive psychology portion of the intervention, the study trainer will (a) review the week's positive psychology exercise, (b) discuss the rationale of the next week's positive psychology exercise through a guided review of the positive psychology manual, and (c) assign the next week's positive psychology exercise. For the motivational interviewing portion, participants will (a) review their physical activity goal from the prior week, (b) discuss techniques for improving physical activity, and (c) set a physical activity goal for the next week. Study trainers will use motivational interviewing techniques to facilitate goal setting.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Positive Psychology + Motivational Interviewing | Experimental | Participants will complete weekly positive psychology exercises and will systematically set goals related to physical activity. Study trainers will review the positive psychology exercises on the phone each week and will use motivational interviewing techniques to facilitate goal setting.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Positive Psychology + Motivational Interviewing in people with ACS - Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by Northwestern University at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Dec 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study was stopped early (reason given: In-person recruitment deemed not feasible due to COVID). Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Number of intervention sessions completed by participants (time frame: 12 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04062383, which also lists 14 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Dec 2022.
