About this study

Official title: Trajectory of Positive Psychological States in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome

The purpose of the study is to to determine the natural history of positive psychological states, health status, and functioning, over an 8 week period following admission for an acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We aim to compare the changes in these factors from baseline to 8-week follow-up with corresponding changes in the completed proof-of-concept intervention trial (NCT02004158).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in positive affect measured by self-report questionnaires

    To determine the change in positive psychological states, specifically optimism and positive affect, over an 8 week period following admission for ACS as measured by the Life Orientation Questionnaire (LOT-R [trait optimism]), Life Orientation Questionnaire-State (LOT-RS [state optimism]), and the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS [positive affect]).

    Measured: Baseline, 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change in behavior adherence measured by a self-report questionnaire

    To assess changes in health behavior adherence over an 8 week period following admission for ACS using the Medical Outcomes Study-Specific Adherence Scale (MOS-SAS items on physical activity, diet, and medication).

    Measured: Baseline, 8 weeks

  2. Change in function measured by self-report questionnaires

    To assess changes in functional status over an 8 week period following admission for ACS using the Women's Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation (WISE [functional status]) and the Short Form health survey (SF-12 [health-related quality of life]).

    Measured: Baseline, 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by Massachusetts General Hospital.

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 3 inclusion and 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Apr 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Change in positive affect measured by self-report questionnaires (time frame: Baseline, 8 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 19 Apr 2016.
