The Effect of a Mobile Application on Treatment Adherence, Self-Management, and Quality of Life in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction Undergoing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating mHealth for Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 61 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Background and Aim: Acute myocardial infarction is a clinical condition with high mortality and morbidity rates. Ensuring patient adherence to treatments and lifestyle recommendations after discharge is crucial for effective post-acute myocardial infarction management. This study aimed to determine the impact of a mobile application on treatment adherence, self-management, and quality of life in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary ıntervention. Material and Methods: This randomized controlled and experimental study was conducted between 2021 and 2024 at the cardiology clinic of a university hospital. It included patients who had their first time with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction and underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (n=31/30). The control group was provided standard discharge education with the "Educational Booklet for Patients Who Have Had a Heart Attack". The intervention group, in addition to these practices, mobile application support was provided. They were followed up for 6 months post-discharge. Data were collected at 1, 3 and 6 months. The patient information form including characteristics related to lifestyle changes, Medication Adherence Reporting Scale (MARS), and Myocardial Infarction Dimensional Assessment Scale (MIDAS) were used in data collection.

Timeline
Interventions
The mobile application contains medication and personalised reminders, the screen where blood pressure and pulse are entered, the lifestyle change recommendations information, and the section that allows users to communicate with the researcher. Also, there is a control panel that allows the application to be controlled remotely, patient information to be viewed, data to be monitored, lifestyle information to be uploaded and viewed in the mHealth, personalised reminders to be sent to patients, and communication with patients.
