Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The European guidelines of cardiovascular disease prevention recommend treatment modalities, such as lifestyle changes in order to minimize the risk of further cardiac event after a myocardial infarction (MI). However, a considerable gap exists between guidelines and their implementation in clinical practise. Further, less is known about the impact of different interventions on patient's knowledge, skills and confidence necessary for self-management after MI.

Aim: To evaluate and compare the short- and long-term effects of an individual nurse-led counselling programme together with usual care for patients early discharged after MI on self-management behaviour.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention group

The intervention is an individual nurse-led counselling programme in addition to usual care.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Nurse-led counselling programme

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The intervention is an individual nurse-led counselling programme in addition to usual care. The intervention includes 3 outpatient clinic visits (at weeks 2, 14 and 26) and two telephone calls (at weeks 4 and 16) by a cardiovascular nurse during the first 6 months early discharged. The counselling focuses on cardiac risk reduction behaviour based on guidelines issued by European Society of Cardiology and self-management support.
