The articles in the current special issue of Psychosomatic Medicine focus on technological solutions that have been applied t…

  • The Relationship Between Objectively Measured Step Count, Clinical Characteristics, and Quality of Life Among Depressed Patients Recently Hospitalized With Systolic Heart Failure

    Julia P Holber, Kaleab Z Abebe et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2022

    OBJECTIVE: Physical activity (PA) can improve symptoms of both depression and heart failure (HF), but objective activity data among recently hospitalized HF patients with comorbid depression are lacking. We examined PA and the relationship between daily step counts and mood, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and heart health among patients enrolled in a clinical trial treating HF and comorbid depression. METHODS: We screened hospitalized pa…

  • The Impact of Optimism and Pain Interference on Response to Online Behavioral Treatment for Mood and Anxiety Symptoms

    Natalia E Morone, Bea Belnap Herbeck et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2021

    OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore a) if high pain interference has a negative effect on response to computerized cognitive behavioral therapy (cCBT) for anxiety and depression and b) whether high optimism can buffer the negative effects of pain interference on cCBT outcomes. METHODS: We performed a secondary analysis of data on 403 participants from the randomized controlled clinical trial "Online Treatment for Mood and Anxiety Disorders in …

  • Blended Collaborative Care to Treat Heart Failure and Comorbid Depression: Rationale and Study Design of the Hopeful Heart Trial

    Bea Herbeck Belnap, Amber S Anderson et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2019

    OBJECTIVE: Despite numerous improvements in care, morbidity from heart failure (HF) has remained essentially unchanged in recent years. One potential reason is that depression, which is comorbid in approximately 40% of hospitalized HF patients and associated with adverse HF outcomes, often goes unrecognized and untreated. The Hopeful Heart Trial is the first study to evaluate whether a widely generalizable telephone-delivered collaborative care p…

  • Treating Anxiety in the Presence of Medical Comorbidity: Calmly Moving Forward

    Bruce L Rollman, Jeff C HuffmanARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2013

    Patients with chronic medical conditions (CMCs) and a comorbid anxiety or mood disorder tend to report more symptoms and experience poorer treatment outcomes compared with those without mental health comorbidity. Although the benefits to be derived from treating depression in patients with CMCs have begun to be quantified, particularly among those with cardiovascular disease, our understanding of the benefits of treating anxiety in patients with …

  • Optimism, Response to Treatment of Depression, and Rehospitalization After Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery

    Hilary Tindle, Hilary A Tindle et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2012

    OBJECTIVE: Optimism has been associated with a lower risk of rehospitalization after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, but little is known about how optimism affects treatment of depression in post-CABG patients. METHODS: Using data from a collaborative care intervention trial for post-CABG depression, we conducted exploratory post hoc analyses of 284 depressed post-CABG patients (2-week posthospitalization score in the 9-item Patient …

  • Association of Baseline Anxiety With Depression Persistence at 6 Months in Patients With Acute Cardiac Illness

    Christopher M Celano, Carol A Mastromauro et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2012

    Objective To assess the association of baseline anxiety with depression persistence and change in depressive symptoms 6 months after cardiac hospitalization. Methods Data were analyzed from 137 depressed patients hospitalized on inpatient cardiac units for acute coronary syndrome, decompensated heart failure, or arrhythmia and who were enrolled in a randomized trial of collaborative care depression management. Subjects’ demographic, medical, and …

METHODS: Data were analyzed from 137 depressed patients hospitalized on inpatient cardiac units for acute coronary syndrome, decompensated heart failure, or arrhythmia and who were enrolled in a randomized trial of collaborative care depression management. Subjects' demographic, medical, an…

  • The Impact of Pain and Depression on Recovery After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

    Natalia E Morone, Debra K Weiner et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2010

    OBJECTIVE: To describe the relationship between pain and depression on recovery after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). METHODS: A secondary data analysis on 453 depressed and nondepressed post-CABG patients enrolled in a randomized, controlled, effectiveness trial of telephone-delivered collaborative care for depression. Outcome measures were collected from March 2004 to September 2007 and included pain, physical function, and mood symptom…

  • The Bypassing the Blues Treatment Protocol: Stepped Collaborative Care for Treating Post-Cabg Depression

    Bruce L Rollman, Bea Herbeck Belnap et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2009

    OBJECTIVE: To present the design of the Bypassing the Blues (BtB) study to examine the impact of a collaborative care strategy for treating depression among patients with cardiac disease. Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is one of the most common and costly medical procedures performed in the US. Up to half of post-CABG patients report depressive symptoms, and they are more likely to experience poorer health-related quality of life (HR…
