About this study

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of secondary prevention education given to individuals after acute myocardial infarction on physiological parameters, anxiety and quality of life.The population of the study will be the individuals hospitalized with the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction in the Coronary Intensive Care Unit of Abant Izzet Baysal University Izzet Baysal Training and Research Hospital. The study will be conducted in a randomized controlled manner with two groups, 43 in the control group and 43 in the secondary prevention education group. CAG (Coronary Angiography) Procedure Training Form, Patient Identification Form, Physiological Parameters Form and Visual Analogue Scale, Spielberg State and Trait Anxiety Scale and Myocardial Infarction Dimensional Assessment Scale will be used to collect data. The data will be collected by face to face interview technique. For descriptive statistics, mean and standard deviation or median and minimum-maximum values for numerical variables, number and percentage values for categorical variables will be given. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test (p <0.05), skewness and kurtosis coefficients (should be ± 1) and X ̅ / SS <4 inequalities will be examined at the same time, and the weight in which group will be preferred.

Primary outcomes

  1. means of subjective anxiety scores

    Time frame: six months

    Spielberg State- Trait Anxiety Scale. The total score between 0-19 obtained from the state anxiety scale shows that there is no anxiety, the total score between 20-39 indicates mild, the average score between 40-59 indicates moderate, and the total score between 60-79 indicates severe anxiety, and over 60 points are needed for professional help. The scores obtained from the trait anxiety scale vary between 20 and 80. A high score means a high and a low level means anxiety

  2. means of subjective quality of life scores

    Time frame: six months

    It consists of 35 items and the quality of life is based on physical activity (12 items), insecurity (9 items), emotional response (4 items), addiction (3 items), diet (3 items), concerns about medication (2 items), Each sub-dimension of MIDAS, which measures seven domains as (2 items), is scored between 0-100. High scores indicate poor health.

Secondary outcomes

  1. means of subjective pain score

    Time frame: six months

    visual analog scale. It consists of a straight line with endpoints that define end limits such as "no pain" and "pain as bad as possible". The patient is asked to mark the level of pain on the line between the two endpoints.

Other outcomes

  1. means of blood pressure (mmHg)

    Time frame: six months

    In the study, a digital sphygmomanometer, which has been calibrated in comparison with the mercury sphygmomanometer, is used in order to prevent individual differences in the measurement of blood pressure. For accurate results, the sphygmomanometer sleeve is sized for adult individuals (width = about 20 cm, length = about 40 cm). In order for the blood pressure not to be affected by the conditions during the measurement, it is taken into account that the individual did not drink tea or coffee, take caffeine, and preferably did not eat during the 30 minutes prior to measurement.

  2. means of total cholesterol (mg/dl)

    Time frame: six months

    The values measured during routine blood checks will be taken for cholesterol values in this study.

  3. means of HDL cholesterol (mg/dl)

    Time frame: six months

    The values measured during routine blood checks will be taken for cholesterol values in this study.

  4. means of LDL cholesterol (mg/dl)

    Time frame: six months

    The values measured during routine blood checks will be taken for cholesterol values in this study.

  5. means of triglyceride (mg/dl)

    Time frame: six months

    The values measured during routine blood checks will be taken for cholesterol values in this study.
