Family support for recovery in patients with acute myocardial infarction
Abstract
Introduction: Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) greatly affects health. Comprehensive cardiovascular rehabilitation programs encouraging heart-healthy lifestyle habits, adequate nutrition and regular physical activity, along with family support, are important pillars for their treatment.
Objective: To determine the influence of family support on the recovery of AMI patients.
Methods: A critical observational cross-sectional field study was conducted in 88 patients diagnosed with AMI in the emergency area of the Hospital General Portoviejo in the Manabí province, Ecuador.
Results: When interviewed, 48.86% of patients stated that they received family support, while 51.14% claimed they did not. Family support was related to cardiac rehabilitation factors in the second phase and to quality of life after AMI. Our work, as a novel approach, reports for the first time a study which includes family as a crucial part in the recovery of AMI patients in Manabí province.
Conclusions: Comprehensive family support plays a key role in the recovery phases of AMI patients as it contributes to better adherence to treatment and their new lifestyle, thus avoiding possible relapses and complications.
