The goal of this descriptive research was to identify, using the phenomenological method, the sources of stress as they are preceived by men who have suffered a myocardial infarction, and also as perceived by their spouse. Subjects were asked to identify their perceptions of stress arising from either having suffered a myocardial infarction or having shared the life of this person as a spouse, the nursing care received and the feelings of other concerned family members. Watson's "caring" theory was explored as a useful model to address the perceived stress. Analysis of the evidence confirmed that myocardial infarction itself provoked several sources of stress for the sick person and the spouse. Lack of instruction and support are two of the elements of stress often mentioned in the subjects' comments. These findings provide a focus for nurses to use the "caring" theory of Watson to minimize the sources of stress perceived by both groups of subjects.
这项描述性研究的目的是，运用现象学方法，确定心肌梗死男性患者及其配偶所感受到的压力源。研究对象被要求明确他们对于因患心肌梗死或作为配偶陪伴此人生活、接受的护理以及其他相关家庭成员的感受而产生的压力的认知。人们探讨了沃森的“关怀”理论，将其作为应对所感受到的压力的有用模型。对证据的分析证实，心肌梗死本身给患者及其配偶带来了多种压力源。缺乏指导和支持是研究对象评论中经常提到的两个压力因素。这些发现为护士运用沃森的“关怀”理论以减少两组研究对象所感受到的压力源提供了一个重点。
