Summary
The objective of this study was to assess the impact of a nursing intervention on therapeutic adherence in elderly patients after acute myocardial infarction compared to a control group
Detailed description
A comprehensive geriatric assessment was performed during the first admission in all patients. Patients were randomly allocated to a nursing intervention group or a usual care group. In patients from the intervention group, a nursing intervention programme was performed 3 months after admission, based on education, support and patient monitoring to improve therapeutic adherence and a 6 month phone call. The main outcome measured was therapeutic adherence at 12 months, as defined by a combination of adherence measurement tools (Morisky-Green and Hayness-Sacket scales, attendance at visits and withdrawal of medication from the pharmacy). Therapeutic adherence was assessed by nurses blinded to the assignment group.
