Postacute Myocardial Infarction Differences in Physical Activity Behavior, Anxiety, and Depression Levels.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There are limited studies regarding physical activity, anxiety, and depression levels among patients with postacute myocardial infarction (AMI). This is a need for more research on physical activity, anxiety, and depression levels based on the type of AMI following hospitalization to develop interventions to improve these outcomes.

Objective

To compare physical activity behavior, anxiety, and depression levels among patients with post-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and post-non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) not involved in cardiac rehabilitation program following hospitalization.

Methods

A descriptive cross-sectional study design was employed with a convenience sample of 254 patients with post-AMI, 4 weeks after hospitalization. Pa
