Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study was to clarify the contents of self-care and the factors related to self-care of myocardial infarction patients. The first investigation was to clarify the content of myocardial infarction patients. The second investigation was to develop the measurement scale of myocardial patients’ self-care and to test validity of the measurement scale.
As a result about self-care, I found two subscales, named ‘Self-care in the daily life to protect heart' and ‘to exercise habitually and coordinate exercise’. Also, I could get appropriate self-care model in myocardial infarction patients. It was composed of eight variables which were Self-care in the daily life to protect heart, to exercise habitually and coordinate exercise, support of the spouse, support of the family, physical quality of life (QOL), mental QOL. According to the model, exercise habitually and coordinate exercise improved physical QOL, mental QOL and the number of times of percutaneous coronary intervention PCI.
