| dc.description.abstract | Inadequate health literacy practices are an important factor associated with maladaptive coping and poor adherence to treatment in patients with coronary artery disease (Aaby et al., 2017; Peltzer et al., 2020). Improving patients’ health literacy practices is an essential aspect in reducing recurrence, complications, and hospitalisation, and could enhance the quality of life of persons with cardiac disease (De Melo Ghisi et al., 2018; González-Chica et al., 2016; Jovanić et al., 2018). Myocardial infarction is the most common form of coronary artery disease (Thygesen, 2019) and causes more deaths than any other disease or illness (World Health Organization, 2020a). It is an unexpected life-threatening and traumatic event necessitating patients to use adaptive coping strategies and adhere to cardiac disease management post-recovery to prevent recurrence, improve health, and reduce mortality (Blumenthal et al., 2016; Grønning et al., 2016; Hussain et al., 2020; Lynggaard et al., 2017 | |
