    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Psychology
    • Rehabilitation Medicine

    Background:

    • Myocardial infarction (MI) significantly impacts patients and their spouses.
    • Psychosocial adjustments and support systems are crucial for recovery.
    • Limited research exists on the specific needs of spouses post-MI.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine psychosocial issues and adjustments in MI patients and their spouses 3 months post-hospitalization.
    • To explore the relationship between spouse anxiety, coping, and marital functioning.
    • To investigate the link between shared responsibility, perceived spouse beliefs, and patient compliance.

    Main Methods:

    • Cross-sectional study of 40 myocardial infarction patients and their spouses.
    • Exploration of psychosocial factors, coping mechanisms, and marital functioning.

  • Assessment of patient compliance and perception of spouse's beliefs.

    • Main Results:

    • Spouses received inadequate information regarding patient care, roles, and their own needs.
    • Patient compliance was high, significantly related to perceived spouse beliefs.
    • Lack of agreement on shared responsibility for regimen compliance was evident.
    • Trait anxiety negatively impacted marital functioning; problem-solving was the primary coping strategy for spouses.

    Conclusions:

    • Spouses require comprehensive information and defined roles in cardiac rehabilitation programs.
    • Couple inclusion and tailored program content are essential for effective rehabilitation.
    • Addressing spouse anxiety and promoting adaptive coping strategies can improve marital functioning.
