A New Experimental Model for Improving Self-care Performance of Myocardial Infarction Patients

This paper is to develop a new experimental model for improving self-care performance in myocardial infarction patients. The pair wise t-test was done to compare the self-care performance before and after application of a new experimental model. The results of study are as follows. First, for sesame intake, subjects’ score (62.51 ± 0.49) who have intake sesame after application significantly higher than subjects (47.36 ± 0.35) who didn’t intake sesame(t = -2.47, p = .000). Second, for self-care performance, the mean scores of the persistence in myocardial infarction patients showed an increase in the experimental group, regardless of the time elapsed of 4 weeks after the application of a new experimental model. Thus, the research can use the results as guidelines for designing self-care performance and networks in the future.
