Abstract

SILVA-RUZ, Carlos; RUIZ-ACACIO, Emmanuel A.; PINEDA-FLORES, Claudia  and  LANDA-RAMIREZ, Edgar. Remote psychological intervention for the treatment of depression heart failure. Arch. Cardiol. Méx. [online]. 2022, vol.92, n.4, pp.502-512.  Epub Dec 09, 2022. ISSN 1665-1731.  https://doi.org/10.24875/acm.21000248.

Cardiovascular disease and depression are considered public health problems, depression is a risk factor for patients with heart failure (HF) for its clinical implications. The objective of this study was to describe two modalities of psychotherapeutic interventions in the approach to depression in patients with HF.

Search methods:

We searched the specialized databases MEDLINE, PubMed, PsycINFO, Web of Science, CINAHL and Cochrane Library from 2010 to 2020. Selection criteria. Articles were selected by title and abstract., published in the last 10 years, written in Spanish or English and repeated registrations were deleted.

Obtaining the data:

Three authors collected information from the studies being documented.

Main results:

We included 4 clinical studies with 911 patients, were conducted in 4 countries in the last 10 years and implemented different methods of digital interventions and home visits, the effects of these treatments have been statistically significant to reduce self-reported depression scores in patients with HF who received psychotherapeutic intervention in any of these modalities compared to those patients who only received a treatment.

Conclusions:

Due to the limited number of studies and different methods of intervention, a standard treatment of HF depression in these care formats is not identified, so more research in this field of study is recommended.
