To describe the prevalence and predictors of receipt of practical support among acute coronary syndrome (ACS) survivors during the early post-discharge period.
406 ACS patients were interviewed about receipt of practical (instrumental and informational) support during the week after discharge. Demographic, clinical, functional, and psychosocial predictors of instrumental and informational practical support were examined.
81% of participants reported receiving practical support during the early post-discharge period: 75% reported receipt of instrumental support and 51% reported receipt of informational support. Men were less likely to report receiving certain types of practical support, whereas married participants and those with higher education, impaired health literacy, impaired activities of daily living, and in-hospital complications were more likely to report receiving certain types of practical support.
Receipt of practical support is very common among ACS survivors during the early post-discharge period, and type of support received differs according to patient characteristics.
描述急性冠脉综合征(ACS)幸存者在出院后早期获得实际支持的流行情况及其预测因素。
对 406 名 ACS 患者进行了调查,了解他们在出院后一周内获得实际(工具性和信息性)支持的情况。分析了工具性和信息性实际支持的人口统计学、临床、功能和社会心理预测因素。
81%的参与者报告在出院后早期获得了实际支持:75%报告获得了工具性支持,51%报告获得了信息性支持。男性获得某些类型的实际支持的可能性较小,而已婚参与者和受教育程度较高、健康素养受损、日常生活活动能力受损以及住院并发症的参与者获得某些类型的实际支持的可能性较大。
ACS 幸存者在出院后早期获得实际支持的情况非常普遍,获得的支持类型因患者特征而异。
