Key result
Continuous Care Model significantly improves post-MI self-care behaviors compared to routine care.
Why the study?
Self-care behaviors are effective in preventing symptoms and recurrence of myocardial infarction, and the impact of the Continuous Care Model on these behaviors needed evaluation.

RCT (n=60)
randomly
Yes
Does the Continuous Care Model improve self-care behaviors in patients with myocardial infarction?
The Continuous Care Model significantly improves self-care behaviors such as diet, smoking cessation, stress moderation, and physical activity in patients with myocardial infarction.

CCM improves self-care behaviors post-MI; supports integration into discharge planning and warrants larger multicenter trials.
Background and Aim: Self-care behaviors are one of the effective factors in preventing symptoms and recurrence of the disease.Continuous Care Model has been introduced as a regular process for effective communication between patient and nurse.considering the feature of this model in the continuity of communication in patient care that is appropriate to the patient's condition, This study aimed to determine the effect of Continued Care Model (CCM) on self-care behaviors in patients with myocardial infarction. Materials and Methods:A randomized controlled clinical trial study was performed on patients admitted to coronary care unit (CCU) wards of the Zahedan-based teaching hospitals in 2017.Sixty patients were selected by convenience sampling method and assigned randomly into intervention and control groups (N=30 per group).The CCM in five group sessions, they performed 45-30 minutes and were followed up by telephone.Data were collected by using a demographics form and questionnaire of standard scale Self-Care Miller in a Data were collected from using a demographics form and questionnaire of standard scale Self-Care Miller in three periods of time.data were analyzed in SPSS software (Version 20) and with the help Independent t-test, Chisquare and repeated measures ANOVA with Bonferroni post hoc test, at the significant level of P<0.05 was analyzed.Results: Two groups of control and intervention there were no significant differences in individual variables.Mean scores of diet (P<0.001),non-smoking (P=0.03),moderation of stress variable (P=0.002),physical activity (P=0.001), and total score of self-care behaviors (P <0.001) were significantly increased in the intervention group immediately after the intervention was implemented The results showed that the changes in self-care behaviors in the two groups were not the same in three time intervals and in the intervention group were statistically significant (P<0.001). Conclusion:The CCM can cause positive changes in self-care behaviors in patients.Therefore, using this model as a communitybased approach in the health system is recommended in patients with myocardial infarction.

A 2019 study conducted an RCT in myocardial infarction (n=60). Continuous Care Model (CCM) vs. Routine care (control group) was evaluated on Total score of self-care behaviors (p=<0.001). The Continuous Care Model increased the total score of self-care behaviors in patients with myocardial infarction compared to routine care.
