INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The primary objective of this project is to investigate the effectiveness and costs of integrating a behavioural program targeting sleep and stress (the RESST intervention) into cardiac rehabilitation (CR). In addition, the investigators will also study whether parameters regarding diversity (e.g., sex, ethnicity, socioeconomic position) are associated with intervention effectiveness. Furthermore, the investigators aim to explore the (bidirectional) relation between sleep and stress on the one hand, and other lifestyle components and health outcomes on the other hand.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria5
- Participate in CR at one of the study centres for any cardiac diagnosis or reason as stated in the Dutch guidelines
- Age at or above 18 years
- Proficient in the Dutch language
- Experiencing sleep and/or stress problems as indicated by a high score on the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI score \>5) or Perceived Stress Scale-10 (PSS-10 score \>13)
- Signed informed consent
Exclusion Criteria2
- Severe psychiatric, cognitive or physical comorbidity that would impede CR participation
- Active treatment for sleep disorders, stress, or other forms of (behavioural) therapy at the start of the study or expected to start within the first 6 months of the study, that could interfere with the RESST intervention. Note: Participants with previously diagnosed sleep disorders are eligible if they still experience sleep or stress problems, unless they fall under the above criteria. Participants who received a prior treatment that is still ongoing but has resulted in a stable sleep and stress condition in the 3 months before the cardiovascular event (e.g., Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)) are eligible.

Interventions
Subjects randomized to the RESST intervention will receive on top of standard rehabilitation a behavioural group intervention focussing on improving sleep and stress. This intervention will consist of 5 group sessions of 120 minutes each in the local rehabilitation centre. Sessions should be completed within a maximum of 4 months since the start of CR.
