Conditions studied: Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation

In brief

The aim of this project is to determine whether the entire intervention (Mindfulness meditation, AF education, and weekly phone visits) that is nurse delivered to individuals with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation is more effective than a combination, single or no intervention in the reduction of overall AF symptoms, anxiety, and negative illness perception; or the improvement of quality of life (QOL) and functional status.
