Development and testing of an adaptive text message intervention to promote psychological well-being and reduce cardiac risk
Text message preferences among individuals with type 2 diabetes
Patient-reported outcomes associated with transition to secondary progressive multiple sclerosis
A Positive Psychology–Motivational Interviewing Intervention to Promote Positive Affect and Physical Activity in Type 2 Diabetes
OBJECTIVE: Physical activity is associated with superior health outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), but most T2D patients do not follow physical activity recommendations. The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility and impact of a novel combined positive psychology-motivational interviewing (PP-MI) intervention to promote physical activity in T2D. METHODS: This controlled clinical trial compared an 8-week, phone-deliver…
Age Differences in the Use of Health Information Technology Among Adults in the United States
Background: Despite significant advancements in the use of health information technologies (HITs) in health care, older adults' adoption of new technologies has consistently lagged behind that of younger adults. Objective: To compare ownership rates and preferences for utilizing technology for health information exchange among older and younger adults. Methods: Utilizing data from the 2017 and 2018 iterations of the Health Information National Tr…
Optimizing a Positive Psychology Intervention to Promote Health Behaviors After an Acute Coronary Syndrome
OBJECTIVE: Despite the clear benefits of physical activity and related behaviors on prognosis, most patients experiencing an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remain nonadherent to these behaviors. Deficits in positive psychological constructs (e.g., optimism) are linked to reduced participation in health behaviors, supporting the potential utility of a positive psychology (PP)-based intervention in post-ACS patients. Accordingly, we aimed to identif…
Associations Between Psychological Constructs and Cardiac Biomarkers After Acute Coronary Syndrome
OBJECTIVE: Psychological constructs are associated with cardiovascular health, but the biological mechanisms mediating these relationships are unknown. We examined relationships between psychological constructs and markers of inflammation, endothelial function, and myocardial strain in a cohort of post-acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. METHODS: Participants (N = 164) attended study visits 2 weeks and 6 months after ACS. During these visits,…
Influence of Personality on the Relationship Between Gray Matter Volume and Neuropsychiatric Symptoms in Multiple Sclerosis
OBJECTIVE: Research has revealed an association between personality traits and health outcomes, and in multiple sclerosis (MS), there are preliminary data showing a correlation between personality traits and brain volume. We examined the general hypothesis that personality influences the relationship between gray matter volume (GMV) and cognitive/neuropsychiatric MS features. METHODS: Participants were 98 patients with MS who underwent magnetic r…
