dc.description.abstract	© The Author(s) 2019. This study aims to investigate health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of Korean patients in the acute phase of myocardial infarction (MI) and correlates of this important patient outcome. A total of 150 patients with recent MI were recruited. The Korean version of the MacNew Quality of Life after Myocardial Infarction Questionnaire was used to assess their HRQoL. Demographic, behavioural and disease-related factors were also assessed and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS 21) was used for psychological well-being. Participants who had a higher education level and better financial status had better HRQoL. Diabetes, history of stroke, other heart disease and a higher score of the DASS 21 were adversely associated with HRQoL. The findings of this study help identify risk factors that are related to lower HRQoL after MI. Early psychological and financial support may help reduce the impact of MI on patients’ overall health and quality of life.	en_US

Abstract:

© The Author(s) 2019. This study aims to investigate health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of Korean patients in the acute phase of myocardial infarction (MI) and correlates of this important patient outcome. A total of 150 patients with recent MI were recruited. The Korean version of the MacNew Quality of Life after Myocardial Infarction Questionnaire was used to assess their HRQoL. Demographic, behavioural and disease-related factors were also assessed and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS 21) was used for psychological well-being. Participants who had a higher education level and better financial status had better HRQoL. Diabetes, history of stroke, other heart disease and a higher score of the DASS 21 were adversely associated with HRQoL. The findings of this study help identify risk factors that are related to lower HRQoL after MI. Early psychological and financial support may help reduce the impact of MI on patients’ overall health and quality of life.
