“…Particularly, emotional, informational and practical support from family and social networks in the recovery process was significant (Webster et al, 2003;Worrall-Carter et al, 2005). The participants in Kristofferzon et al's study (Kristofferzon et al, 2007) felt that the network was generally supportive but they often experienced communication problems when they interacted with their network. Overprotection by family members was also identified as a source of frustration and aggravation for participants (Condon and McCarthy, 2006).…”

“…In an initial stage, they were confronted with uncertainty about life and death as Physical symptoms and emotional distress were the most commonly described problems after a myocardial infarction (Alsen et al, 2008;Kristofferzon et al, 2007). The participants managed the problems by accepting the limitations acute coronary syndrome has caused and establishing boundaries, negotiating with themselves, relying on their own capabilities, changing attitudes and behaviours and taking their own decisions and actions (Kristofferzon et al, 2007).…”

Funding statementNo external funding.Page 3  Evidence has suggested the effects of self-management interventions on rehabilitation and recovery across a variety of chronic conditions. However, to date less is known about the extent of the literature on self-management for individuals following an acute cardiac event. Despite widespread use of the term 'self-management' and growing interest in the concept, defining how self-management is manifested in terms of observable behaviours remains challenging in the field of health and social care. What this paper adds? Evidence showed varying effects of the self-management interventions among people following acute coronary syndrome when compared with usual care.Most studies in this review were conducted in western countries and quantitative studies were UK centric. Therefore, more research is needed to explore self-management among people following acute coronary syndrome within different health care contexts.

“…By identifying behavioral risk factors among multiple risk factors that can trigger morning onset of cardiac events, patients with cardiac disease may be able to avoid life-threatening conditions and reconsider their daily lives, including the cycle of activity, rest, and sleep that is associated with quality of life (Baas, 2004;Condon & McCarthy, 2006;Kristofferzon et al, 2007;Noriss et al, 2004). By controlling behavioral risks among the multiple risk factors for cardiac events in the morning, it might be possible to reduce the frequency of early morning cardiac events.…”

This study, carried out on 95 patients hospitalized because of their first cardiac coronary event, analysed the association of gender and perceived social support with life satisfaction and negative life events. More specific variables related to disease including adjustment to illness and anxiety and depression symptoms were also considered. Gender was expected to moderate the relationships between social support and the psychological variables studied. Main results showed several significant interactions between gender and social support. Men with high support reported less negative events compared with men with low support and with women with either low or high support. Women with high support used more positive adjustment compared with women with low support, whereas men did not change with social support, using always more adaptive strategies. In addition, regression analyses showed that life satisfaction was significantly predicted by social support in men. In women, this relationship was mediated by the adjustment strategies to disease. It is suggested that interventions that account for the relevance of gender and perceived support on life satisfaction, emotional distress and coping strategies following a recently diagnosed cardiac disease may facilitate adjustment and well‐being.
