Brief Summary

Objective The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between mindfulness, resilience, depression and quality of life in patients with heart failure, and the effect of mindfulness-based stress reduction intervention with mobile phone application on subjects with depressive symptoms. Therefore, the research objectives are as follows:

  1. 1.To explore the relationship between mindfulness, resilience, depression, and quality of life in patients with heart failure, and to explore the mediating role of positive emotions (mindfulness, resilience).
  2. 2.Using a mobile phone app to conduct mindfulness-based stress reduction interventions, to explore the effects of physiological and psychological factors in heart failure patients with depressive symptoms.

Study Arms (2)

MBSR

EXPERIMENTAL

The experimental group used App for MBSR intervention The main app of this experiment is "Mindfulness in life (Taiwan)" (this system is only applicable to Android devices). The content is divided into two parts. The course is compressed and simplified, mainly focusing on mindfulness learning and practising audio-visuals. There are eight-week themed audio-visuals and mindful caring words guided by mindfulness-based stress reduction, mindfulness-stretching guidance, and the function of recording the reading time of the research subjects. App platform for researchers to communicate.

waiting list

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

The waiting list used only the Heart Care Life app for the first eight weeks, as self-management is an essential element of heart failure treatment (Tsami et al., 2023), following the situation-specific theory of heart failure self-management (the situation- specific theory of heart failure self-care:) (Riegel et al., 2022) and American heart failure guidelines (Heidenreich et al., 2022) design (Tsami et al., 2023; Vellone et al., 2020), mainly for Disease-related knowledge and self-management tools, built-in disease health education electronic audiobooks, diet sodium content calculator, diet water content calculator, activity step calculation, etc., to help research subjects self-manage the disease. Measure T2 at week 8. From the ninth to the sixteenth week, use the Mindful Live app.
