“…This, in turn, had negative effects on desire and aggravated feelings of inadequacy. Negative effects on sexual health of similar attitudes have been found by others (Hilgenberg & Crowly, 1987; Okoniewski, 1979; Pinneo, 1984; Puksta, 1977; Whipple, 1987/1988).…”

Changes occur in an individual's lifestyle after a myocardial infarction (MI), including his or her sexual activity. This study evaluated problems related to post-MI sexual functioning and the information needs of MI patients. The study included 110 MI patients who had home visits within 2-5 months after their discharge from the hospital. Data were gathered through a questionnaire that was completed through personal interviews. The study sample was predominantly male (95.5%). All patients were married, and 25% were between the ages of 24 and 40 years. We identified unnecessary limitations in sexual activities and mistakes in the reorganization of activities, such as resumption of sexual activity and frequency and positions of sexual intercourse. We found that all 110 patients had insufficient information about their future sexual functioning.

“…Morse & Johnson (1991) argue that theories of illness based on patients’ perspectives are needed to explain related experiences, needs and guide care. Literature shows that the initial recovery period following AMI is stressful and unpredictable for the survivor and significant others ( Stern & Pascale 1979, Hilgenberg & Crowley 1987, Coyne & Smith 1991, Marsden & Dracup 1991, Beach et al . 1992 , Hilgenberg et al .…”

Lebanese migrants form a significant proportion of the population in southwestern Sydney (SWS), and in New South Wales, Australia. This pilot study was undertaken in south-western Sydney, a rapidly expanding and socioeconomically disadvantaged region, to explore the experiences of English speaking women of Lebanese origin whose spouses had recently experienced an acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven Lebanese-born women at 2- and 4-week intervals, following the discharge of their husbands from hospital. Qualitative analysis of narrative text revealed four distinct themes. These were: struggle to resolve distress; intensive monitoring of the AMI survivor; searching for avenues of support; and reflecting on the future. Study findings are discussed in relation to the literature. Implications for nursing practice and research are drawn from study findings.
