Key result
A 14-day eHealth-based self-efficacy intervention significantly improved positive affect and self-efficacy compared to control in male patients with cardiovascular disease (all p < .05).
Why the study?
The effectiveness of a multicomponent, eHealth-based self-efficacy intervention to promote subjective well-being and self-efficacy in cardiovascular disease patients, including potential sex differences, required evaluation.
Does a multicomponent eHealth intervention improve subjective well-being and self-efficacy in cardiovascular disease patients?
Does a multicomponent eHealth intervention improve subjective well-being and self-efficacy in cardiovascular disease patients?
A 14-day eHealth intervention improved subjective well-being and self-efficacy in male, but not female, cardiovascular disease patients.

AIM: To evaluate the effectiveness of a multicomponent, eHealth-based self-efficacy intervention to promote subjective well-being and self-efficacy in patients with cardiovascular disease, exploring sex differences. DESIGN: A pilot study of a two-arm non-randomized controlled trial. METHODS: Forty-two cardiovascular patients (31% women) participated in the study. The experimental group received a personalized psychoeducational session and a 14-days eHealth intervention. Subjective well-being (positive and negative affect) and self-efficacy (chronic and cardiac) were assessed at baseline, post-psychoeducational session, post-eHealth intervention and at two follow-ups. RESULTS: The levels of the experimental group in positive affect, at post-eHealth and follow-up 1, and self-efficacy, at post-eHealth, and both follow-ups, were statistically significantly higher compared to the control group (all ps < .05). When considering sex, the intervention was effective only for men. The results highlight the potential of eHealth interventions for cardiac patients and underline the importance of considering a gender perspective in their treatment.

Farhane‐Medina et al. (2022) studied cardiovascular disease (n=42). multicomponent, eHealth-based self-efficacy intervention vs. control group was evaluated on Subjective well-being (positive and negative affect) and self-efficacy (chronic and cardiac) (p=<.05). A 14-day eHealth-based self-efficacy intervention significantly improved positive affect and self-efficacy compared to control in male patients with cardiovascular disease (all p < .05).
