    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Cardiology
    • Intensive Care Medicine

    Background:

    • Patients hospitalized in intensive care units (ICUs) experience significant psychological distress.
    • Myocardial infarction (MI) patients face unique emotional challenges during critical care.
    • Understanding these psychological manifestations is crucial for comprehensive patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the psychological manifestations in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) admitted to the ICU.
    • To compare the psychological profiles of MI patients with those of patients with other critical illnesses.
    • To identify practical implications for healthcare teams in managing ICU patients.

    Main Methods:

    • A psychological investigation was conducted on 58 patients with MI in an ICU.
    • Results were compared with a control group of 37 patients hospitalized for different critical conditions.
    • Standard psychological assessment methods were employed.

    Main Results:

    • Common psychological manifestations observed included anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, and hostility.
    • Specific syndromes like "survivor" or "Minotaurus" syndrome were noted.
    • Significant differences in psychological responses were observed between MI and other patient groups.

    Conclusions:

    • Psychological support is essential for MI patients in ICUs.
    • Healthcare professionals' attitudes, physician-patient relationships, and ICU stay duration impact patient well-being.
    • Integrating psychologists into the ICU team can enhance patient care and recovery.
