32
Q

What are 4 issues with ICT related interventions?

A
  1. program design using new technologies
  2. evaluation and research issues

  4. context and systems
33
Q

Why is using new technologies a problem for ICT intervention design?

small sample size, participants mostly have higher income, poor usability and retention

34
Q

Why is evaluation and research issues a problem with ICT intervention?

A

poor evaluation of user perceptions, low retention, new technology but old measurement mthods

35
Q

Why is usability, sustainability and uptake of programs an issue for ICT interventions?

A

lack of long term follow up, low sustainability, lack of economic evaluation

Q

Why is context and systems a problem for ICT interventions?

A

rapid technological advancements, market saturation, lack of accountability for program finding, delivery and quality control

  • lower social support
39
Q

What did a review about the prevalence, intervention effects and associations in depression and heart failure found what? (2)

A
  • depression was present in heart failure patients in at least 1 in 5
  • relationship between depression and poor heart failure outcomes is strong
40
Q

What did a review of the relationship between social support and heart disease find?

A
  • low social support predicts 1 year mortality following an acute myocardial infarction (heart attack)
  • low social support is equivalent to other risk factors (e.g smoking)
41
Q

Can anger and hostility predict mortality and cardiovascular events in patients with heart disease?

A

Yes

Q

Non-benefits finding after a heart attack found what?

A

more anxiety, restricted lifestyle, and burden

44
Q

What works in behaviour change interventions for heart disease patients?

providing educational information and goal setting. Small but significant effects were found. While they didn’t reduce risk, it reduced mortality

Q

What are some limitations for heart diseas interventions? (2)

A
  1. need to address depression as it is a common comorbid disease

Q

What did a study find about coping planning and heart disease patients? (2)
