“…7 When returning home, both patients and their partner seek normalization, but the path to normality is fraught with uncertainty. 8 Patients commonly experience anxiety and depression after an MI, 9,10 as do some partners, 11 and depressive symptoms may affect the patient's ability to cope with the new situation. 12 Therefore, it is critical to examine the information preferences of patients and partners, because information is important for helping patients and partners cope after a MI; 13 the challenge for nurses is to provide information that is appropriate for both the patient and the partner.…”

“…Patients are not well prepared for what life will be like after discharge, and their first days at home are often characterized by uncertainty, anxiety and dejection [6]. Spouses report even higher levels of distress and anxiety than the patients themselves during the early recovery period [11]. Patients often find it difficult to identify relevant questions prior to discharge [12].…”

Background: This study aimed to illuminate the meaning of the patient-nurse communication during a hospital stay as narrated by patients after a myocardial infarction (MI).Methods: Narrative interviews from 10 patients were analyzed, using a phenomenological-hermeneutic method. Results:The nursing dialogue meant a safe mooring point on the trajectory from initial chaos after a MI to a reoriented life. Nurses' presence and availability for non-verbal and verbal communication created a trustful relationship where new knowledge was acquired and motivational strength for life-style changes was mobilized. A person-centered perspective was preferred, where relatives were invited into the conversation. Conclusions:These results highlight that patient-nurse communication based on the patient's view is possible in acute care after MI, and is an issue of attitude rather than time. Trust lays the foundation for a person-centered communication and is developed through the nurse's presence and availability not only in the emergency phase, but throughout hospitalization. Discussions focused on personal action plans with emphasis on the patient's health assets may facilitate a successful rehabilitation.

“…This highlights the need for increased preparedness among cardiac nurses to develop interventions that target the patient and his/her next of kin. Research that departs from the postpositivistic paradigm reveals that being next of kin in this group of patients can be a challenging experience, marked by various negative emotions, reactions and problems (10,11). Interestingly, some findings indicate that the next of kin tend to express higher levels of distress than the relative who has suffered an MI, and this could influence their recovering relative's psychosocial adjustment to illness (11,12).…”

The next of kin's negative feelings of standing alone were further intensified by their experience of being left out of the picture by the healthcare professionals concerning their relative's care. As a cardiac nurse, it would seem essential to have knowledge about the experiences of next of kin in connection with a relative's MI event. Such knowledge can facilitate the planning and organisation of nursing care and at the same time address the next of kin's role in the recovery and rehabilitation process.
