Why the study?
Social support acts as a protective factor against stress, but the extent of its effect on depression and lifestyle in myocardial infarction patients is not known.
Observational
Lack of reported quantitative results on social support precludes practice change; leaves open its predictive value in post-MI depression and lifestyle.
Background & Objective: Social support is generally accepted to act as a protective factor against stressful situations. However, the extent of its effect on the depression and lifestyle of myocardial infarction (MI) patients is not known. Therefore, the present study aimed to examine the role of perceived social support in predicting major depressive disorder and lifestyle components in MI patients.
