Willingness to engage in traditional and novel depression treatment modalities among myocardial infarction survivors.
The authors assessed depression treatment attitudes, acceptability, and willingness by modality among myocardial infarction survivors with elevated depressive symptoms. They found that, despite positive attitudes and general willingness, only 20% were currently in therapy, perhaps due to suboptimal guideline implementation/symptom recognition, low motivation, and access/cost. Additionally, interest in self-help apps was low. The authors recommend further study to understand gaps between generally positive treatment attitudes and low treatment initiation rates.

Depressed mood, perceived health competence and health behaviors: a cross-sectional mediation study in outpatients with coronary heart disease.
Identifying potential mechanisms that link depressed mood with worse health behaviors is important given the prevalence of depressed mood in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and its relationship with subsequent mortality. Perceived health competence is an individual's confidence in his/her ability to successfully engineer solutions to achieve health goals and may explain how depressed mood affects multiple health behaviors. The objective of this study was to examine whether or not perceived health competence mediated the relationship between depressed mood and worse health behaviors.
