Rehabilitation for Survivors of Cardiac Arrest Focused on Fatigue

"The intervention will be delivered by a multidisciplinary team. There will be individual testing and feedback on physical capacity and cognitive ability. Group sessions will include education on the consequences of cardiac arrest, promotion of techniques to ameliorate these consequences, for example, increasing physical activity or energy conservation. Additional sessions will cover psychological reactions; family life; work life; intimacy; and existential considerations.~Participants will have a course information book with a physical activity training diary and problem-solving therapy worksheets to use at home for 12-weeks. They will receive one phone call from the clinical team during this period. The 2-day return stay will revisit the subjects from the first 5-day stay.~Participating survivors who have a relative that wishes to attend will be included in all the group sessions and individual feedback but will not take part in the physical capacity or cognitive ability tests."
