“…As already pointed out, most of the MIPs in this study had a high QOL and symptom severity of only class I (28.5 %) or class II (33%) of the CCSC, which their low symptom severity resulted in a high QOL and reduced readmission rate. This result supported previous studies that low symptom severity was linked to delayed readmission (Kwok et al, 2018) and an increased QOL (Kang et al, 2018) among acute MIPs. Likewise, the symptom severity, such as physical symptoms and limitations in daily activities due to heart failure, affected the QOL (Heo et al, 2009).…”

Background: Readmission among patients with myocardial infarction is costly, and it has become a marker of quality of care. Therefore, factors related to readmission warrant examination.Objective: This study aimed at examining factors influencing readmission in Thai with myocardial infarction.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study with 200 participants randomly selected from five regional hospitals in Thailand. All research tools used indicated acceptable validity and reliability. Linear Structural Relationship version 8.72 was used for the data analysis.Results: The findings showed that the hypothesized model with social support, depression, symptom severity, comorbidity, and quality of life could explain 4% (R2 = 0.04) of the variance in readmission (c2 = 1.39, df = 2, p < 0.50, c2/df = 0.69, GIF = 1.00, RMSEA = 0.00, SRMR = 0.01, and AGFI = 0.98). Symptom severity was the most influential factor that had a positive and direct effect on the readmission rate (0.06, p < 0.05).Conclusions: These findings serve as an input to decrease readmission in patients with myocardial infarction by reducing the symptom severity and comorbidity and promoting a better quality of life.Funding: The Ratchadaphiseksomphot Endowment Fund, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand (CU-GR_60_38_36_03).

“…For the purpose of this study, the Korean version of the MacNew was employed following the procedure described by Guillemin et al (1993), and only the total score of the Korean MacNew was used for this study. The psychometric properties of this Korean version are presented in a separate study (Kang et al, 2018). The alpha coefficient for the 27 items of the Korean MacNew was 0.90.…”

This study aims to investigate health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of Korean patients in the acute phase of myocardial infarction (MI) and correlates of this important patient outcome. A total of 150 patients with recent MI were recruited. The Korean version of the MacNew Quality of Life after Myocardial Infarction Questionnaire was used to assess their HRQoL. Demographic, behavioural and disease-related factors were also assessed and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS 21) was used for psychological well-being. Participants who had a higher education level and better financial status had better HRQoL. Diabetes, history of stroke, other heart disease and a higher score of the DASS 21 were adversely associated with HRQoL. The findings of this study help identify risk factors that are related to lower HRQoL after MI. Early psychological and financial support may help reduce the impact of MI on patients’ overall health and quality of life.

“…This is also in line with a finding of a study conducted in Brazil, in which the highest scores of HRQoL were seen in the social functioning domain. This could be that the participants might have opportunities for social life [24]. According to this study, age has an inverse relation with overall HRQoL.…”

“…Due to the devastating consequences of MI, patients report fear of another cardiac event, reduced energy levels, and an inability to carry on their normal roles [21][22][23]. Understanding those factors that contribute to HRQoL post-MI, particularly modifiable factors, can open a window of opportunity to improve the recovery and disease outcomes of MI patients [24,25]. Measuring HRQoL will assist in monitoring treatment guidelines and improving patients' HRQoL.…”

“…There were studies revealing that older age was associated with better HRQoL in patients with MI except for the physical dimension of the HRQoL [32]. A longitudinal observational study conducted in South Korea found that younger patients with MI had higher HRQoL [24]. A cross-sectional study conducted in China showed that females had significantly lower scores of HRQoL [31].…”

Introduction. Myocardial infarction is the most frequent manifestation of coronary heart disease and one of the leading causes of death worldwide. The sudden and often profound physiological and psychological effect of the acute onset of myocardial infarction hurts the health-related quality of life. Objective. To assess health-related quality of life and associated factors among myocardial infarction patients at Cardiac Center, Ethiopia, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2020. Method. Institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from April 10 to June 25, 2020, at the Cardiac Center-Ethiopia, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The sample consisted of 421 myocardial infarction patients. Data were collected through an interviewer-administered structured questionnaire by using the World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire. Samples were selected using a consecutive sampling technique. The linear regression analysis model was fitted using SPSS 26 and STATA 14, and the unstandardized beta (𝛽) coefficient with a 95% confidence interval was used. A p value <0.05 was considered statistically significant for all analyses. Results. The mean score of the overall health-related quality of life was found to be 49.29 ± 14.83 , and the mean score for the physical domain was 47.96 ± 16.50 ; for the psychological domain, it was 50.91 ± 16.07 , and for environmental and social relationship domains, it was 48.30 ± 16.54 and 52.02 ± 24.61 , respectively. In the multiple regression analysis, increased age, living in a rural area, heart failure, and hypertension were inversely associated with overall health-related quality of life, while secondary and higher education were associated with better overall health-related quality of life. Conclusion. Patients with myocardial infarction at Cardiac Center, Ethiopia, had lower health-related quality of life. Hence, the finding of this study suggests the implementation of a cardiac rehabilitation program and comprehensive service given by healthcare providers.

Abstract: Providing adequate information about the illness and social support as well as reducing negative psychological experiences in early days after MI may improve HRQoL of MI patients.
