Why the study?
The MIMIC intervention was developed to increase evidence-based care for acute myocardial infarction in Tanzania, but its acceptability and feasibility among emergency department providers were unknown.
Is the MIMIC multicomponent intervention acceptable and feasible for emergency department providers managing acute myocardial infarction in Tanzania?
Comparison

Implication
Supports pilot use of MIMIC in similar EDs; leaves open effects on AMI outcomes.
Structured PICO
Is the MIMIC multicomponent intervention acceptable and feasible for emergency department providers managing acute myocardial infarction in Tanzania?
P
Population
64 emergency department providers (27 physicians, 37 nurses) at a tertiary care center (Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre) in northern Tanzania.
I
Intervention
MIMIC (Multicomponent Intervention to Improve Acute Myocardial Infarction Care) consisting of five components: triage cards, pocket cards, an online training module, patient educational pamphlets, and clinical champions.
O
Outcome
Acceptability (measured via the four-item Acceptability of Intervention Measure [AIM]) and Feasibility (measured via the four-item Feasibility of Intervention Measure [FIM]).patient reported
A multicomponent quality improvement intervention for acute myocardial infarction care was highly acceptable and feasible among emergency department staff in a Tanzanian referral hospital.
Limitations
- Single center study, so the generalizability of findings is unknown
- Psychometric properties of the Swahili versions of the AIM and FIM instruments are unknown
- Potential for social desirability bias in survey responses
