Family-centered care after acute myocardial infarction.

J Fleury1, S M Moore.   

Abstract

The experience of a cardiac event is a significant source of stress for both patients and their family members. The acute phase after myocardial infarction reflects a crisis for patients and family members as they attempt to reconcile the affect of the event and adapt to the uncertainties associated with hospitalization and the initial recovery process. This article reviews empirical research available to cardiovascular nurses that may guide family-centered care during the acute phase after myocardial infarction. Directions for practice and research focus on cardiovascular nursing interventions that address family needs after an acute myocardial infarction. The experience of an acute myocardial infarction is a source of stress for both patients and their family members and may be viewed as a crisis that significantly disrupts family functioning and dynamics. The trajectory of cardiovascular disease involves multiple adjustments by patients and family members as they attempt to reconcile the affect of the event and adapt to the uncertainties associated with the acute phase of illness. Efforts by patients and family members to manage the stressors associated with the acute phase of cardiovascular illness are often associated with alterations in physiologic and psychologic functioning.
