Cognitive behavioral intervention improves quality of life and perceived illness acceptance in patients after cardiac electrotherapy devices implantation.

CONCLUSIONS: Implementation of CBI in patients after CIED implantation significantly improved indices of quality of life as well as illness acceptance, when compared to the control group of patients in standard care following electrotherapy. CBI showed multiple benefits in this population, as well as ensures the fulfilment of its expected therapeutic effect, while short duration of the intervention did not prolong the hospitalization itself.
