Capacidade funcional e percepção de saúde após infarto agudo do miocárdio: estudo transversal

Abstract

Cardiac rehabilitation is one of the main strategies for combating cardiovascular diseases, including acute myocardial infarction. In phase 1, the main objective is to improve functional capacity. Therefore, the need to evaluate it becomes evident. Furthermore, health perception also contributes to effective management of this condition. From this perspective, the objective of this study is to analyze the relationship between the variation in functional capacity during the period of hospital stay and the perception of health of individuals after acute myocardial infarction at the time of discharge from phase 1 cardiac rehabilitation. transversal and quantitative, carried out at the Onofre Lopes University Hospital, between March and November 2023, at two moments: admission, in which functional capacity was assessed, through the 30-second sit-to-stand test, and discharge, in which there was reevaluation of the functional test and application of the health perception questionnaire – Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (B-IPQ). The inclusion criteria were clinical and hemodynamic stability, with those with neurological, orthopedic and/or rheumatological impairment being excluded. In this context, the sample of 10 individuals showed variation in functional capacity and health perception of, respectively, on average, 2.90 (±0.99) repetitions and 11.3 (±13.0) points, with no statistical relationship between yes (p>0.05). Therefore, it is not possible to observe a relationship between the variation in functional capacity during the period of hospital stay and the perception of health of individuals after acute myocardial infarction at the time of discharge from phase 1 cardiac rehabilitation in this sample
