Does psychological intervention improve rehabilitation and self-confidence in patients following a myocardial infarction?
Early identification of negative psychological attitudes and interventions to improve mental state are important for successful rehabilitation after myocardial infarction.
Following a myocardial infarction any residual symptoms are likely to remind the patient of a possible fatal outcome and be detrimental to successful rehabilitation. Negative psychological attitudes need to be identified early. Intervention to improve the mental state should be introduced to restore self-confidence.
