Sunday, May 25, 2025 · Washington, DC

Submitted Talk · Sunday, May 25, 2025 · 11:00 AM – 11:15 AM ET

Subject Area: Personality/Emotion

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.
