The goal of this feasibility study is to learn if the randomised controlled trial evaluating the Remote-delivery Balance in Everyday Life (rBEL) programme for adults younger than 55 years who have experienced a myocardial infarction (MI), is feasible.
The objective is to examine the feasibility of the rBEL programme and the associated study procedures before a controlled evaluation of the programme. This is an uncontrolled, single-arm, pre-post treatment designed study.
Participants of the target population will take part of the six session over 13 week programme. Feasibility will be evaluated against predefined feasibility criteria regarding study procedures and programme acceptability.
Myocardial infarction (MI) before age 55 years
MI within one year prior to randomization
Report of subjective cardiac distress in the initial interview
Serious conditions hindering participation (e.g., active substance misuse, severe mental illness)
Insufficient Swedish proficiency for study procedures,
Disability pension or early retirement at the time of MI
