The Perception of Exercise in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction
Keywords:
Perception, Exercise, Acute myocardial infarctionAbstract
Exercise, while beneficial for heart health in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) survivors, is often avoided due to fear. This descriptive qualitative study explored the perceptions of exercise in 20 AMI patients through in-depth interviews. Interviews were conducted using an interview guide developed by the researchers. The objective was to explore the perception of exercise in terms of its meaning, related factors, and exercise patterns.
The results revealed that AMI patients viewed any movement as exercise as they stated "any movement is exercise" and "movements prolong life" reflecting a recognition of its health benefits. Motivators included regaining health, recognizing exercise benefits, having friends to exercise, and family encouragement. However, fear of chest pain, anxiety, fatigue, and mobility limitations acted as barriers. They desired personalized, device-assisted, and supervised exercise, highlighting the need for tailored programs and specialized coaching for safe and effective rehabilitation.
Therefore, healthcare teams should develop diverse, personalized exercise programs and provide specialized coaching to ensure safe and effective rehabilitation for AMI patients.
