Key result
A theoretical framework is proposed for building a multifactorial rehabilitation model with a caring perspective after myocardial infarction to improve social support and decrease life stress.
Why the study?
Does a multifactorial rehabilitation approach with a caring perspective improve adaptive coping capacity for lifestyle changes in patients after myocardial infarction?
Does a multifactorial rehabilitation approach with a caring perspective improve adaptive coping capacity for lifestyle changes in patients after myocardial infarction?
A holistic, biopsychosocial approach to post-MI rehabilitation may improve patients' adaptive coping capacity for lifestyle changes compared to purely biomedical models.
May support holistic post-MI rehab models emphasizing social support; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.
Several rehabilitation models after myocardial infarction (MI) have been developed during recent years, usually with a biomedical perspective. The MI client is a biopsychosocial human being and therefore a multifactorial approach built on holistic care may offer an efficient rehabilitation process. This includes increased social support and decreased life stress for the MI client in order to obtain an adaptive coping capacity for a life style change. Health care professionals are required with specialised knowledge about how and why to care for an MI client. The present theoretical framework provides a basis for building a multifactorial rehabilitation with a caring perspective.

Fridlund et al. (1989) conducted a review in Myocardial infarction. Multifactorial rehabilitation with a caring perspective was evaluated. A theoretical framework is proposed for building a multifactorial rehabilitation model with a caring perspective after myocardial infarction to improve social support and decrease life stress.
