The purpose of this study was to explore any patterns that may be evident in the experiences of 20 patients and their partners 1 month after a first heart attack. An interpretive research approach was used to illuminate the illness experience of patients and its impact on their partners. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the participants, and qualitative analysis of the data revealed six major categories. These were: expectations about advice and information; feelings about the future; reactions of the partner; playing down the significance of the heart attack; wanting to get back to normal; and the effect on the couple's relationship. These findings are discussed in relation to the theoretical literature and other empirical research. The results of this study may provide pointers to the implications for practice of nurses, particularly on ways to improve support for patients and their partners during early convalescence.
本研究的目的是探究在20名患者及其伴侣首次心脏病发作1个月后的经历中可能显现出的任何模式。采用诠释性研究方法来阐明患者的疾病经历及其对伴侣的影响。对参与者进行了半结构化访谈，数据的定性分析揭示了六个主要类别。它们分别是：对建议和信息的期望；对未来的感受；伴侣的反应；淡化心脏病发作的重要性；想要恢复正常；以及对夫妻关系的影响。结合理论文献和其他实证研究对这些发现进行了讨论。本研究结果可能为护士的实践启示提供指引，特别是在早期康复期间改善对患者及其伴侣支持的方法方面。
