摘要

背景:阿司匹林被认为是急性心肌梗死三级预防的有效药物。目前的建议是急性心肌梗死期间应立即服用阿司匹林,之后继续服用。尽管阿司匹林治疗有公认的好处,但只有一小部分人在经历急性胸痛时服用阿司匹林。本研究的目的是确定知道急性心肌梗死期间服用阿司匹林有益的公众比例,并检查与这些知识相关的因素。方法:对加拿大大温哥华地区40岁以上的976人进行电话调查。结果:只有33.7%的样本表示,如果他们有“心脏病发作”的症状,他们“非常可能”或“绝对可能”服用阿司匹林。在多变量分析中,年龄较大的个体,受教育程度较高的个体,以及自我,家庭成员或朋友中有AMI经验的个体更有可能报告他们会服用阿司匹林。与加拿大出生的参与者相比,中国移民不太可能表示他们会服用阿司匹林。结论:提高AMI患者对阿司匹林益处认识的干预措施应优先考虑,尤其应关注加拿大华人社区。本研究的目的是确定在加拿大一个大型城市中心,知道在出现AMI症状时建议服用阿司匹林的公众比例。我们还研究了与这些知识相关的因素,以及有AMI病史的个体是否更了解AMI期间服用阿司匹林的益处。这项研究是一项更大的调查的一部分,涉及与寻求心脏症状治疗相关的社会人口学、临床、认知、心理和社会因素。方法:样本、数据收集和问卷调查本研究使用的数据来自电话调查,该调查是一项更大的研究的一部分

Public Awareness of the Benefits of Aspirin Use in the Management of Acute Myocardial Infarction
Background: Aspirin is known to be an effective agent in the tertiary prevention of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The current recommendation is that aspirin should be given immediately during an AMI and continued afterward. Despite the recognized benefits of aspirin therapy, only a small portion of individuals take aspirin when experiencing acute chest pain. The objective of this study was to determine the proportion of the public that knew that aspirin administration during an AMI is beneficial and to examine factors associated with such knowledge. Methods: A telephone survey was completed by 976 people 40+ years of age, in Metro Vancouver, Canada. Results: Only 33.7% of the sample indicated that they were 'very likely' or 'definitely likely' to take an aspirin if they were experiencing symptoms of a "heart attack." In multivariate analysis, older individuals, better educated individuals, and those with AMI experience in self, family member or friend, were more likely to report that they would take an aspirin. Chinese immigrants, compared with Canadian-born participants, were less likely to indicate that they would take an aspirin. Conclusions: Interventions for increasing awareness of the benefits of aspirin during an AMI should be made a priority in general, and with a particular focus on the Chinese-Canadian community. The purpose of this study was to determine the proportion of the public, in a large Canadian urban center, that knew that aspirin administration was recommended at the onset of symptoms suggestive of AMI. We also examined factors associated with such knowledge and whether individuals who had a history of AMI were more aware of the benefits of aspirin administration during AMI. This study was part of a larger investigation of socio- demographic, clinical, cognitive, psychological, and social factors associated with treatment seeking for cardiac symptoms.
