Trial summary

The European guidelines of cardiovascular disease prevention recommend treatment modalities, such as lifestyle changes in order to minimize the risk of further cardiac event after a myocardial infarction (MI). However, a considerable gap exists between guidelines and their implementation in clinical practise. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Self-management Behaviour After an Individual Nurse-led Counselling Programme for Patients Early Discharged After Myocardial Infarction: A Randomised Controlled Trial.

The European guidelines of cardiovascular disease prevention recommend treatment modalities, such as lifestyle changes in order to minimize the risk of further cardiac event after a myocardial infarction (MI). However, a considerable gap exists between guidelines and their implementation in clinical practise. Further, less is known about the impact of different interventions on patient's knowledge, skills and confidence necessary for self-management after MI.

Aim: To evaluate and compare the short- and long-term effects of an individual nurse-led counselling programme together with usual care for patients early discharged after MI on self-management behaviour.

What participants receive

    The intervention is an individual nurse-led counselling programme in addition to usual care. The intervention includes 3 outpatient clinic visits (at weeks 2, 14 and 26) and two telephone calls (at weeks 4 and 16) by a cardiovascular nurse during the first 6 months early discharged. The counselling focuses on cardiac risk reduction behaviour based on guidelines issued by European Society of Cardiology and self-management support.
