Abstract
Aim: To gain an understanding of potential aspects influencing treatment adherence for patients with acute coronary syndrome.
Design: A qualitative deductive approach.
Methods: Patient and nurse participants were recruited from a single hospital in Australia, who participated in a semi-structured interview. Data were analysed using a deductive thematic analysis.
Results: Fifteen patients with acute coronary syndrome and 13 registered nurses participated in the study. Potential aspects influencing treatment adherence included perceived risk, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, self-efficacy, and cues to action.
Conclusion: This study provides insights into the limited evidence into understanding the aspects that influence treatment adherence for acute coronary syndrome from both the patient and the nurse perspective. This is important given the continuing low rate of treatment adherence among patients with acute coronary syndrome. Future studies are recommended to consider patients' perceived benefits, barriers, and cues to action that target increased treatment adherence for this population.
