Implication

Does not support anxiety reduction to improve post-MI self-care; leaves open education-focused strategies and needs prospective trials.

Key Points

To examine the relationship between state and trait anxiety during acute myocardial infarction hospitalization and subsequent self-care behaviors several weeks after discharge.
Assessed 62 patients (39 male, 23 female) during hospitalization for acute myocardial infarction and again 3 months post-discharge.
Measured state and trait anxiety with the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and evaluated medication, exercise, smoking, diet, and stress management self-care with Miller's Health Behavior Scale.
Trait anxiety during hospitalization showed low correlations with post-discharge exercise performance, medication administration, stress management, and smoking cessation behavior.
State anxiety during hospitalization demonstrated a low correlation specifically with smoking cessation behavior at the 3-month follow-up.

Population

62 male (n = 39) and female (n = 23) subjects hospitalized for an acute myocardial infarction

Outcome

Self-care behaviors (medication, exercise, smoking, diet, and stress management) measured by Miller's Health Behavior Scale at 3 months after dischargepatient reported

Anxiety levels during hospitalization for acute myocardial infarction show low correlation with self-care behaviors at 3 months, suggesting a need for anxiety management education rather than direct anxiety reduction.
