Resumen

Effectiveness of a cognitive-behavioural program to modify coronary-prone behaviours. This randomised trial presents the effectiveness of a cognitive-behavioural group treatment to modify coronary-prone behaviours of patients of low socio-economic status. Probands in this study were 98 males assigned to a psychological treatment, to a health education treatment, or to a standard medical treatment for coronary patients. After the year of treatment and after two years of follow-up, only in the psychological treatment group were there statistically significant differences in the TABP, especially in the ¿Speed-Impatience¿ factor, measured by Structured Interview, and in Trait Anxiety. These results are considered a reliable first step in the process of validating this treatment.
