Key result
Partner stress predicted medication nonadherence (OR 2.89; 95% CI 1.21-6.95), and large social networks predicted rehabilitation attendance (OR 3.42; 95% CI 1.42-8.25) 12 months post-ACS.

Should not yet change post-ACS care; leaves open whether targeting partner stress or networks improves adherence or attendance.

Do social network size and partner stress predict medication adherence, cardiac rehabilitation attendance, and quality of life following acute coronary syndrome?
Odds Ratio: 2.89 (95% CI 1.21–6.95)
Psychosocial factors, specifically partner stress and social network size, significantly impact recovery behaviors and quality of life after an acute coronary syndrome.
Molloy et al. (2008) conducted a cohort in Acute coronary syndrome (n=193). Partner stress and social network size was evaluated on Medication nonadherence (OR 2.89, 95% CI 1.21-6.95). Partner stress predicted medication nonadherence (OR 2.89; 95% CI 1.21-6.95), and large social networks predicted rehabilitation attendance (OR 3.42; 95% CI 1.42-8.25) 12 months post-ACS.
