“…In brief interviews before hospital discharge, focusing on patients' goals, resources, and barriers to future change may help patients reflect on their daily lives after their myocardial infarction. 13 Post-ACS patients experienced psychological barriers after treatment, such as anxiety, stress, and fear. Anxiety has a much more significant impact on the progression of coronary artery disease than its clinical correlates.…”

“…5 If the patient feels a lack of readiness for discharge, it can strongly predict coping difficulties after discharge and readmission to the hospital. 6 Post-ACS patients have a desire to develop and take approaches with new perspectives on their lives. 7 Moreover, it is crucial to explore the experience of the care transition felt by patients after ACS.…”

Introduction: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients are at a higher long-term risk of recurrent cardiovascular events. The transition from hospital to home is a delicate time. Patients frequently have potentially unavoidable adverse events and hospital readmissions after being discharged from the hospital. This study aims to explore the barriers of patients’ transition experiences from hospital to homecare in post-acute coronary syndromes.Methods: An exploratory qualitative research design with a phenomenological approach was used in the study. Research data were collected using semi-structured interviews from April to Juli 2020. It was selected from 15 patients diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) using the purposive sampling technique. The data were analyzed using thematic content analysis.Results: This study recruited 15 participants post-ACS. Four barriers were identified: (1) Psychological barriers: stress, fear, anxiety; (2) physical barriers: chest pain, dyspnea, palpitation; (3) lack of knowledge, including diet, coronary disease, return to work, medication, and heart attack intervention; and (4) low adherence to smoking cessation, daily activity, and medication adherence.Conclusion: At the time of discharge, there is a need for a new approach to communicating with the patients, educating patients and families, and preparing for ACS patients. The findings of this study will help nurses better understand the barriers of transitional care from the hospital to the home.

This research aims to develop an Islamic caring model for the psychospiritual comfort of coronary disease patients. Method: The research method used was analytic observational with a cross-sectional design. This research recruited 70 clients from the population of the heart disease patients in three Islamic hospitals by using simple random sampling. Data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Results: The research showed that there were influences from the nursing and service factors towards Islamic caring with a value of t= 7.79; 2.06. There was influence from Islamic caring towards psychospiritual comfort with a value of t= 2.85. Conclusions: The Islamic caring model is a nurse's behavior that emphasizes Islamic values that include the characteristics of maintaining confidence, compassion, and competence to enhance the patients' psychospiritual comfort.

“…Some evidence suggests that the process of disease and its complications along with the need for aggressive therapies in some cases lead the patients to mental health problems such as anxiety. [45] Anxiety symptoms are reported in 90% of patients admitted to the heart departments, and about 20% of these patients suffer from fatigue and depression, which is associated with symptoms such as disappointment. [6] Anxiety and disappointment result in different outcomes in these patients which include reduced job performance, disruptions in family and social relationships, and noncompliance with treatment regimens,[6] all of which lead to recurrence of cardiac events and increased risk of death.…”

Background: Mental health problems such as anxiety and disappointment are common in patients with heart disease, resulting in poor outcomes. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of two methods of relaxation and prayer therapy on anxiety and hope in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Materials and Methods: A quasi-experimental study was conducted in three groups of 25 subjects (i.e., two groups of relaxation and prayer therapy and one control group) and two stages (i.e., pretest and posttest) in hospitals affiliated to Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Iran. Data collection instrument consisted of three parts: (a) demographic and individual characteristics of the subjects, (b) Beck Anxiety Inventory, and (c) Snyder's Hope Scale. The interventions consisted of Benson's relaxation and prayer therapy. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The results showed that there was a significant difference between the mean score of anxiety after intervention in the three groups which was related to each of the relaxation and prayer therapy group with the control group. Also, the result of analysis of covariance with controlling the effect of pretest revealed significant between-subject effects of interventions on posttest scores of hope ( F (2, 71) = 8.55, p = 0.012, η p 2 = 0.12) and anxiety ( F (2, 71) = 4.71, p < 0.001, η p 2 = 0.19). Conclusions: Both relaxation and prayer therapy interventions are effective in promoting hope and reducing anxiety in patients with CAD and provide optimal, short-term, and easy-to-follow options for the health team.
