“…The prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) seems to be stable over time, being the first cause of death and a major loss of health worldwide [ 1 , 2 ]. Empiric evidence has proven that the risk of developing CVD comes not only from biological factors but also from behavioral, psychological, and social factors, which, according to a biopsychosocial model of health, interact with each other [ 3 ]. In the same way, the consequences or repercussions of CVD involve the daily life of the people who suffer it, their quality of life, and the emotional balance to cope with it [ 4 ].…”

The emotional impact that a cardiovascular disease may have on a person’s life can affect the prognosis and comorbidity of the disease. Therefore, emotion regulation is most important for the management of the disease. The aim of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of a brief mHealth psychological intervention in emotion regulation to promote positive subjective well-being in cardiovascular disease patients. The study sample (N = 69, 63.7 ± 11.5 years) was allocated to either the experimental group (n = 34) or control group (n = 35). The intervention consisted of a psychoeducational session in emotion regulation and an mHealth-based intervention for 2 weeks. Positive subjective well-being as a primary outcome and self-efficacy to manage the disease as a secondary outcome were assessed at five time points evaluated over a period of 6 weeks. The experimental group showed higher improvement in positive subjective well-being and self-efficacy for managing the disease compared to the control group over time. The experimental group also improved after the intervention on all outcome measures. Brief mHealth interventions in emotion regulation might be effective for improving positive subjective well-being and self-efficacy to manage the disease in cardiovascular patients.
