“…Roebuck et al (5) also stated that women suffering from an MI expressed isolation and loneliness. In the present study, the women reported that a source of stress was their concern that other conditions and diseases would trigger an MI , which is in line with Rankin et al (24), who highlight multiple chronic illnesses as a significant stress factor. For example, in the present study the women with diabetes were aware that they were at a risk of suffering an MI, and thoughts about the association between diabetes and CHD resulted in stress.…”

To prevent CHD in daily life and avoid reinforcing stress, it is important to place greater emphasis on stress as an important risk factor. An understanding of this phenomenon can assist primary healthcare, coronary care unit (CCU) and rehabilitation nurses in supporting these women as well as their partners to adapt their daily lives both before and after an MI. It is essential to formulate and implement individualised treatment plans and to provide support groups for women.

Despite increased attention to providing seamless transitions after hospitalization, patients often feel unprepared, lack knowledge, and may be confused by what to expect during recovery at home after a cardiac event. Care transition after hospital discharge could be improved by informing and counseling patients more specifically about expected recovery after a cardiac event. Therefore, an integrative review of research was conducted to evaluate cardiac patients' trajectory of recovery after hospitalization. A total of 61 studies were included in this review. Studies included were those of cardiac patients who had been hospitalized for significant cardiac events and those focused on acute coronary syndrome (n = 18), percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (n = 12), cardiac surgery (coronary artery bypass surgery and valve surgery; n = 25), and heart failure (n = 6). Studies included quantitative, mixed-methods, and qualitative designs, with sample sizes ranging from 4 to 2121 participants. Notwithstanding the limitations of this review, findings demonstrated that patients' perceptions of their cardiac event evolved over time from uncertainty, fears, anxiety, and depression, which were often associated with a lack of knowledge of their cardiac condition, to a phase of self-management of their cardiac condition. Furthermore, patterns of commonly occurring symptoms and changes in functioning abilities during recovery after hospitalization were apparent among the different cardiac groups. These findings may be useful to both patients and clinicians to inform them about the recovery trajectory after a cardiac event to improve preparation for the transition from hospital to home.

“…There is also an aspect regarding the effectiveness of the measures implemented [46][47][48][49][50][51][52] and the different treatments [53][54][55]. Another investigated aspect concerns lifestyle, with regard to dietary habits, healthy lifestyle [56], comorbidities [43,57] (smoking and/or alcohol), but also environmental factors like atmospheric pollution.…”

Background: Patient healthcare trajectory is a recent emergent topic in the literature, encompassing broad concepts. However, the rationale for studying patients' trajectories, and how this trajectory concept is defined remains a public health challenge. Our research was focused on patients' trajectories based on disease management and care, while also considering medico-economic aspects of the associated management. We illustrated this concept with an example: a myocardial infarction (MI) occurring in a patient's hospital trajectory of care. The patient follow-up was traced via the prospective payment system. We applied a semi-automatic text mining process to conduct a comprehensive review of patient healthcare trajectory studies. This review investigated how the concept of trajectory is defined, studied and what it achieves.Methods: We performed a PubMed search to identify reports that had been published in peer-reviewed journals between January 1, 2000 and October 31, 2015. Fourteen search questions were formulated to guide our review. A semi-automatic text mining process based on a semantic approach was performed to conduct a comprehensive review of patient healthcare trajectory studies. Text mining techniques were used to explore the corpus in a semantic perspective in order to answer non-a priori questions. Complementary review methods on a selected subset were used to answer a priori questions.Results: Among the 33,514 publications initially selected for analysis, only 70 relevant articles were semi-automatically extracted and thoroughly analysed. Oncology is particularly prevalent due to its already well-established processes of care. For the trajectory thema, 80% of articles were distributed in 11 clusters. These clusters contain distinct semantic information, for example health outcomes (29%), care process (26%) and administrative and financial aspects (16%). Conclusion:This literature review highlights the recent interest in the trajectory concept. The approach is also gradually being used to monitor trajectories of care for chronic diseases such as diabetes, organ failure or coronary artery and MI trajectory of care, to improve care and reduce costs. Patient trajectory is undoubtedly an essential approach to be further explored in order to improve healthcare monitoring.
