Stress surrounding hospital discharge after acute myocardial infarction increases the likelihood that the condition will recur. Although increased age, a more severe illness and a higher incidence of persistent cardiac symptoms suggest that women would experience more stress at discharge, data comparing stress experienced by women and men have not been reported.
To compare the level of stress experienced by women and men at hospital discharge after acute myocardial infarction.
Data from 54 women and 182 men from a government hospital, two private community hospitals and a teaching/community hospital.
Stress scores of women were not found to be different from those of men, nor were five of the six most stressful concerns identified in the study. No difference was found in severity of illness or age.
Women and men experience similar levels of stress at hospital discharge after acute myocardial infarction. Furthermore, both genders can benefit equally from interventions designed to reduce stress.
急性心肌梗死后出院时的压力会增加病情复发的可能性。虽然年龄增长、病情更严重以及持续性心脏症状的发生率更高表明女性在出院时会经历更多压力，但尚未有关于比较女性和男性所经历压力的数据报道。
比较急性心肌梗死后出院时女性和男性所经历的压力水平。
来自一家政府医院、两家私立社区医院以及一家教学/社区医院的54名女性和182名男性的数据。
未发现女性的压力得分与男性不同，该研究确定的六个最具压力的问题中有五个也是如此。在疾病严重程度或年龄方面未发现差异。
急性心肌梗死后出院时，女性和男性经历的压力水平相似。此外，两性都能从旨在减轻压力的干预措施中平等受益。
