What this trial studies
This program focuses on helping individuals with substance use disorders (SUDs) improve their emotional regulation and resilience through a nurse-led HeartMath training approach. The training includes heart-focused breathing techniques, emotional regulation skills, and biofeedback technology to promote heart-brain coherence. By integrating these evidence-based techniques into patient care, the program aims to enhance psychological well-being and overall quality of life for those struggling with SUDs.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this program are individuals who have been experiencing substance abuse for at least one month.
Not a fit: Patients who are not currently hospitalized or are outside the hospital setting may not benefit from this program.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could significantly improve emotional stability and resilience in patients with substance use disorders.
How similar studies have performed: While the specific nurse-led HeartMath approach may be novel, similar interventions focusing on emotional regulation and resilience have shown promise in other studies.
