Nursing care for patients with non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) to have the decision-making time to go to hospital
Keywords:
myocardial infarction, decision-making timeAbstract
Decision-making time is a time that is personally relevant and important for patients with non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). Symptoms and signs of the NSTEMI are not clear. Most patients therefore wait to see symptoms and thus do not decide to receive treatment immediately after symptoms appear. If the patient decides to receive treatment late, it will cause the diagnosis and treatment to be delayed as well. This results in ischemia or permanent death of the heart muscle. This leads to cardiac shock and ultimately causes the patient's death. Nurses play an important role in encouraging patients to decide to seek treatment. Therefore, nurses must have the ability to assess factors affecting the decision to receive treatment and plan nursing care to provide appropriate information for each patient before returning home. As a result, the patients can decide to receive treatment at the right time to prevent complications and to reduce the chance of patient death. This article therefore aims to present knowledge to promote the decision to seek treatment immediately after symptoms appear in NSTEMI patients.
