atrial fibrillation, depression, anxiety
ATRIAL FIBRILLATION
All estimates except change difference are presented as median with interquartile range, change difference presented as difference in median change with 95% confidence interval. AFEQT: atrial fibrillation Quality of life.*p values are based on Wilcoxon sum-rank test comparing control and intervention changeOutcomes on anxiety and depression showed decreased levels at follow-up for both groups, but the intervention group recorded a larger, but non-significant, decline in their scores (HADS-A: median change -3: -5.00 - -1.00) and (HADS-D: median change -1: -5.00–0.00). EHRA scores also decreased in both groups from 3 to 2 during the six-month follow-up. The ICE-EFFEQ showed positive, but non-significant, changes in all domains, except for communication with a difference in median change of -1.00 (CI = -2.94 –-1.00, p = 0.027). The ICE-FPSQ-total showed significant positive scores in all domains in favour of the intervention (all p < 0.001). See
