Emotion Regulation Intervention to Sustain Physical Activity in Rural-dwelling Women and Men After Myocardial Infarction

Content is delivered within the context of emotion provoking situations common in those recovering from a first MI and in maintaining MVPA. The new on-demand access to asynchronous content sessions provides didactic presentation of video and written material based on weekly needs assessments. Weekly scheduled synchronous video chat sessions, led by a nurse interventionist, will provide further individualization and application of content materials.

The attention control group will receive their usual cardiac rehabilitation and a comparable dose matched (to that of the eMotion intervention) of healthy living web content and video chat with a nurse.
