A personalised approach to cardiac rehabilitation.
Patients' beliefs about their myocardial infarction will affect their physical and emotional recovery. An individualised, behavioural approach to rehabilitation aims to treat the patient as an adult learner who participates fully in negotiating priorities for rehabilitation. Initiating rehabilitation advice in the very early stages post-AMI requires the use of specific nursing interventions.
