Faith in recovery. Spiritual support after an acute MI

Data from a sample of ninety AMI patients indicate that the majority of these patients find that their spiritual views are a source of help, both at hospital discharge and during early recovery at home. Conversely, a small group of these patients said they did not receive help. Since the remainder of the patients were unsure if they received help from their religious or life views, I believe that all AMI patients could benefit from spiritual care provided by Christian nurses. Findings also indicate that subjects who experienced spiritual support at home also experienced decreased stress.
