Sitting in Fear: The Association of Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms and Sedentary Time in Cardiac Arrest Recovery

Poster Session VIII

Keyword: Stress

Abstract: Elevated psychological distress is common in the initial weeks after cardiac arrest. We found that patients with more severe posttraumatic stress symptoms at hospital discharge spent more time being sedentary in the first week post-discharge, which has implications for psychological interventions that may improve physical recovery post-arrest.
