[Attitude to work of patients after myocardial infarction, not accepting medical recommendations]

The study aimed at determining the influence of non-acceptation of diagnosis and physicians recommendations on job attitude in survivors after myocardial infarction. Sixty men after the acute myocardial infarction have been examined with Attitude to Illness Questionnaire by Wrześniewski and with the questionnaire on the information on job attitude. The obtained results have lead to a conclusion, that patients after myocardial infarction--who dies not accept the diagnosis and physicians recommendations--have less adequate information on the illness and rarely expect help. Moreover, the patients show greater occupational satisfaction, high motivation and more positive relation to the personnel and job circumstances.
