The nurse-led multicomponent behavioral activation intervention improved patient-reported outcomes and increased OAC prescription among patients with AF.

- AF knowledge: significantly greater improvement with intervention; sustained at 6 months
- Medication adherence: significantly greater improvement with intervention; sustained at 6 months
Patient-physician decision concordance on OAC use, anxiety, depression · both time points
- No significant between-group differences
