Abstract

Myocardial infarction (MI) decreases patients' quality of life (QOL). The present study aimed to investigate the effect of relaxation training and exercise on QOL in post-MI patients. This single-blind, randomized, clinical trial was conducted on 64 post-MI patients at Fatemeh Zahra Hospital in Sari, Iran, in 2013. The study population was divided into two groups of intervention and control. The intervention group received training and was followed-up for 8 weeks at home. The data were collected using MacNew QOL Questionnaire. Data analysis was performed in SPSS (version 16) using t-Test. There were significant differences between the intervention and control groups regarding the mean scores of the three QOL domains. Total QOL showed a significant difference after relaxation program (P≤0.001). Relaxation exercises resulted in the improvement of QOL in post-MI patients. Therefore, nurses are recommended to train these exercises to patients to practice at home. © 2018 Mashhad University of Medical Sciences. All rights reserved.

放松训练和运动对心肌梗死后患者生活质量的影响:一项随机临床试验

心肌梗死(MI)降低患者的生活质量(QOL)。本研究旨在探讨放松训练和运动对心肌梗死后患者生活质量的影响。这项单盲、随机临床试验于2013年在伊朗萨里的Fatemeh Zahra医院对64名心肌梗死后患者进行了研究。研究人群分为干预组和对照组。干预组接受训练，在家随访8周。采用MacNew生活质量问卷进行数据收集。使用SPSS (version 16)软件进行数据分析，采用t检验。干预组与对照组在三个生活质量领域的平均得分有显著差异。放松方案后总生活质量差异有统计学意义(P≤0.001)。放松运动可改善心肌梗死后患者的生活质量。因此，建议护士将这些练习训练给患者在家练习。©2018马什哈德医学大学。版权所有。

期刊介绍： The Evidence Based Care Journal (EBCJ) is an international, peer reviewed, scientific journal that seeks to promote the development and exchange of knowledge that is directly relevant to all spheres of patient care. The primary aim is to promote a high standard of clinically related scholarship which advances and supports patient care in practice. The Journal also aims to promote the international exchange of ideas and experience that draws from the different cultures in which practice takes place. Further, EBCJ seeks to enrich insight into clinical needs and the implications for patient care intervention and models of service delivery. Emphasis is placed on clinical practicality of research findings and strength of study design. EBCJ is essential reading for anyone involved in healthcare professions, whether clinicians, researchers, educators, managers, policy makers, or students. Contributions are welcomed from other health professionals on issues that have a direct impact on patient care.
