Abstract

The review includes an analysis of the literature sources PubMed (MEDLINE), Embase, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, and eLibrary databases for the last 5 years (2018–2022) and the current year 2023 concerning Internet technologies used in the psychological rehabilitation of patients with cardiovascular diseases. Several options for using the Internet in the psychological rehabilitation of patients with cardiovascular diseases are considered, including online resources for interactive information exchange and psychological support, Internet-based psychoeducation, online programs for improving psychological state, and remote psychocorrection. Modern Internet technologies are becoming increasingly important in patients with cardiovascular diseases, opening up new avenues for implementing psychological rehabilitation programs in cardiorehabilitation. Because of its accessibility and effectiveness in lowering anxiety and depressive symptoms, Internet programs based on cognitive behavioral psychotherapy are increasingly being used to improve the psychological state of patients with cardiovascular diseases. The use of Internet technologies in the psychological rehabilitation of patients with cardiovascular diseases helps patients adhere to cardiac rehabilitation. The results show the importance of incorporating Internet technologies into the psychological rehabilitation of patients with cardiovascular diseases and the need for further research to comprehensively study existing and developing new options for using the Internet in psychological rehabilitation.
