- Abstract
Aim: The aim of the work was to point out the importance of physical activity and adherence to regimen measures in relation to the quality of life in patients after myocardial infarction (MI). Methodology: The study group consisted of 77 patients with an acute MI (66.2% men and 33.8% women) with a mean age of 64.8 years (from 43 to 86 years). The data collection was performed using the anonymous standardised MacNew QLMI questionnaire, aimed at assessing quality of life, supplemented by demographic issues as well as questions aimed at changing and adherence to lifestyle. Results: Despite the fact that almost all probands declared that they were informed about the need for regimen measures after overcoming an MI, only a part of the probands sufficiently control them (55.8 %) and an even smaller part applies them in practice (35.1 %). Younger patients are more likely to follow the recommendations, women more often than men (with statistical significance of differences). Adherence to regimen measures is directly related to the quality of life of patients after a heart attack. Conclusion: Lifestyle change after an MI (as part of secondary prevention) improves not only the prognosis but also the quality of life. Less than satisfactory application in practice may have subjective causes (absence of motivation in the patient), as well as insufficiently intensive education by nursing staff.
