Key result
Physicians perceived variations in patient participation across the myocardial infarction pathway, with paternalism in the acute phase and shared decision-making in rehabilitation.
Why the study?
Patient participation improves outcomes but is challenging in acute situations, and physicians play a key role in facilitating it during the myocardial infarction pathway.
Population
Nine experienced physicians in Norway working across the myocardial infarction pathway
Design
Qualitative interview study using a hermeneutic analytical framework

Supports phase-specific engagement protocols in MI care; extends RCT evidence on decision-making variations across pathways.
Physicians perceive varying levels of patient participation across the myocardial infarction care pathway, suggesting checklists could enhance interprofessional collaboration and patient involvement.
Bårdsgjerde et al. (2022) studied Myocardial infarction (n=9). Patient participation in the myocardial infarction pathway was evaluated on Physicians' perceptions of patient participation. Physicians perceived variations in patient participation across the myocardial infarction pathway, with paternalism in the acute phase and shared decision-making in rehabilitation.
