The goal of this feasibility study is to assess if the personalised online psychological intervention MY-CHOICE is acceptable to adults with ischemic heart disease and anxiety or depression. It will also examine the reasons for drop-out. The main questions the study aims to answer are:
How many participants complete the intervention and what are the reasons for drop-out. And what are the pre-post change scores on anxiety and depression.
Participants will:
Complete the MY-CHOICE intervention consisting of 6-12 weeks with online modules on various topics based on individual needs in combination with video- or telephone calls with a therapist (psychologist or a trained master student in Psychology) on a need-to basis.
Answer a set of questionnaires pre and post intervention. Participate in a brief interview post intervention.
