    Education will cover the following topics: Disease Knowledge and Process Management: Definition of myocardial infarction, long-term management of the disease, risk of recurrence, and recognition of complication symptoms. Adherence to Medication Therapy: Regular use of medications, their effects, and methods of administration. Management of Comorbidities: Monitoring and managing existing co-occurring conditions as part of the overall care plan. Self-Care and Lifestyle Modifications: Nutrition: Adopting low-fat dietary habits that support heart health. Physical Activity: The importance of regular exercise and a safe activity plan.

Symptom Management: Recognizing potential symptoms and the necessary actions to take in such situations . Psychosocial Support: Strategies for managing disease-related stress and improving quality of life.

Study Details

The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate whether individualized discharge education is effective in treating patients identified as high-risk based on the LACE index after a myocardial infarction. Additionally, information will be gathered regarding the safety and outcomes of this education. The key questions the study aims to answer are: Does individualized discharge education reduce hospital readmission rates for patients identified as high-risk after a myocardial infarction? Does this education improve patients' treatment adherence, self-care levels, and quality of life? Researchers will compare the effectiveness of individualized discharge education against routine care. Participants will:Receive individualized discharge education prior to discharge if they meet the high-risk criteria, and receive a comprehensive educational brochure. Be followed up via telephone three days a week while at home to monitor their care practices and hospital visits. Participate in follow-up assessments at the 1st month (Follow-up 1) and 3rd month (Follow-up 3) to complete the Coronary Heart Disease Self-Care Inventory and the HeartQoL scale.
