Abstract:
This descriptive study examined depressive symptoms impacting the performance of self-care behaviors in patients (N = 62) who have experienced a myocardial infarction (MI). Having had a prior MI is inversely associated with decreased self-care behaviors at 30 days. Depressive symptoms of agitation and loss of energy significantly impacted self-care performance 30 days after discharge from the hospital. A variance of 21% (P < .05) in patients who experienced a prior MI and exhibited depressive symptoms of agitation and loss of energy at 30 days suggests patient vulnerability after discharge and a window for therapeutic interventions.
