Effect of Interdisciplinary Collaboration in Emergency Nursing Using the SWOT Model on Acute Myocardial Infarction.

Area of Science:

• Emergency Medicine
• Cardiology
• Nursing Science

Background:

• Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) requires timely and effective emergency care.
• Optimizing interdisciplinary collaboration is crucial for improving patient outcomes in emergency settings.

Purpose of the Study:

• To evaluate the impact of interdisciplinary collaboration, guided by the Strengths-Weaknesses-Opportunities-Threats (SWOT) model, on the emergency nursing of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients.

Main Methods:

• Eighty AMI patients were randomized into a SWOT group (interdisciplinary collaboration) and a control group (routine care).
• Key metrics including emergency response times, cardiac function indicators, adverse event rates, quality of life, and nursing satisfaction were compared.

Main Results:

• The SWOT group demonstrated significantly reduced emergency-related times (e.g., waiting, triage, ECG, treatment, PCI, ICU stay).
• Improvements were noted in cardiac function indicators (LVESd, LVEDd, LVEF) and a lower incidence of adverse events in the SWOT group.
• Patients in the SWOT group reported higher quality of life scores and greater nursing satisfaction.

Conclusions:

• Interdisciplinary collaboration employing the SWOT model offers significant benefits for AMI patients.
• This collaborative approach effectively shortens rescue times, improves cardiac function, reduces adverse events, and enhances patient quality of life and satisfaction.
