The purpose of the study was to describe the role of the nursing intervention during the recovery phase in patients with myocardial infarction (MI). Therefore, the aim of the study was to understand how nursing interventions may improve the recovery and outcomes of patients with myocardial infarction.
This study was a qualitative and descriptive literature review approach to analysing nursing interventions in MI recovery. In this study, data was collected from reliable databases through Metropolia LibGuides, which provided access to CINAHL, PubMed, ProQuest, and Medline. A total of 10 articles were selected for data analysis in this study through the PRISMA flow chart. The study employed deductive content analysis to answer the two research questions: (01), what are the key nursing interventions used in the recovery of patients with myocardial infarction? And (02), how do the nursing interventions affect the patient’s outcome?
The results of this study exposed four key nursing interventions. Such as psychological support, monitoring and assessment, medication management, and patient education.
