“…Five main categories in recovery experienced by the patients after MI were identified: (1) clinical and physical, (2) psychological, (3) social, (4) functional, and (5) professional. The results of previous studies that have reported (for example) problems with convalescence [4] , emotional distress [19] , the importance of social relations [18] , the significance of physical activities [4] , and the importance of activity and knowledge from health care services [16] have been confirmed by the results of this study. The results that were similar in the data of diaries and interviews identified as supporting and inhibiting factors in every five main categories.…”

“…Inhibiting factors in recovery after MI are related to supporting factors, but more reports have considered physical health and conditions [3,10,17,18] , especially among older patients [4] . From a psychological perspective, emotional experiences such as fear of dying, emotional distress, family turmoil and existential threat, confusion, and sadness may inhibit recovery [2-4, 18, 19] .…”

Objective: There is a need for studies on recovery as experienced by the patient after myocardial infarction. This study is a report on supporting and inhibiting factors in recovery of Finnish patients after myocardial infarction in an Interpersonal Counselling intervention group and in a control group given standard care at 6 months and 18 months after myocardial infarction. Methods:Firstly, during the 6 months following patients receiving IPC (n=21) and standard care (n=19) kept diaries related to supporting and inhibiting factors in recovery. The data were analyzed by inductive content analysis. Secondly, the patients (44 in the intervention group and 42 in the control group) were interviewed with the same open-ended questions 18 months after myocardial infarction. This data were analyzed using deductive content analysis. An attribution analysis was performed on both data. Results:Five main categories, including supporting and inhibiting factors and subcategories, were identified: (1) clinical and physical, (2) psychological, (3) social, (4) functional and (5) professional. There were no differences between the groups. Conclusions:Recovery experienced by the patient after myocardial infarction seems to consist of many supporting and inhibiting factors. This is important to take into account in developing nursing practice. The topic calls for more specific studies. These results could be useful material in developing and testing a quantitative instrument for more precise measuring of recovery after MI in a randomized setting. To develop theory, the results indicate numerous possibilities to test relationships between supporting and inhibiting factors in recovery after myocardial infarction.

“…Studies describe patients' shock, disbelief, denial, disillusionment and tension created by the divergence of their experience of recovery from MI and medical advice based upon epidemiological trends (Wiles 1998, Hutton and Perkins 2008, Allison and Campbell 2009). These reactions can create turmoil in making sense of symptoms, treatments, lifestyle changes and concerns for the future (Al-Hassan and Sagr 2002, Jensen and Petersson 2003, Clark et al 2004, Kristofferzon et al 2008.…”

‘Some of these people aren’t as fit as us …’: experiencing the ageing, physically active body in cardiac rehabilitation

There is a dearth of research on how the physically active body is experienced during rehabilitation from serious illness. The present study investigated older adults’ embodied experiences and changing perceptions of self in one cardiac rehabilitation (CR) scheme in the East of England. Fourteen interviews were completed with participants in a CR scheme. A figurational approach was utilised which emphasised the need for participants to delineate their own logic of experience from the perspective of their active body during CR. Data were thematically analysed and individual experiences were situated in wider power relationships within and beyond the exercise class. Recurring themes emerged including participants’ perceptions of lost control during illness, the centrality of embodied sensations during rehabilitation and the interdependence of their embodied experiences with those of other bodies through overt and covert monitoring of physiological, emotional and psychological responses to rehabilitation. During rehabilitation, participants negotiated a complex interweaving of identities which centred upon their changing sense of embodied ‘I’ in relation to other bodies in the rehabilitation figuration, who were conceptualised according to fluid ‘we’ and ‘them’ relationships. Self-images were socially produced and moderated by health and exercise professionals and other participants. The extent to which participants were empowered within the exercise setting was highly heterogeneous. Findings suggest that the messages participants receive about CR must reflect the heterogeneity of recovery trajectories that could be experienced

“…Some findings indicate that in the early discharge period, patients with AMI are worried about their social role, interpersonal relationships and personal health, which can exacerbate symptoms and complicate their recovery period (Al‐Hassan & Sagr 2002). Consequently, this puts the partners in a stressful situation (O’Farrell et al.…”

Stress and stressors of myocardial infarction patients in the early period after discharge

Abstract: The findings suggest that in the early discharge period MI patients worry about their social role, interpersonal relations and personal health, which can exacerbate symptoms and complicate their future care.
