| dc.description.abstract | Myocardial infarction is a leading cause of death in Jordan. Nurses’ inadequate health literacy practices may impede effective patient care, and lead to increased costs, complications, and mortality. Health literacy training programmes could enhance nurses' ability to support patients in adapting to myocardial infarction. Aim: to develop an intervention for Jordanian nurses about utilising health literacy practices to facilitate adaptive coping and adherence to disease management among patients with myocardial infarction. Methods: A multi-method research design was used in this study. Lazarus and Folkman's Psychological Stress and Coping Theory guided the study's theoretical framework. The first four phases of Rothman and Thomas’s (1994) intervention research design guided the study. Phase One: Problem analysis and project planning. A literature review was conducted on the coping strategies and health literacy practices of patients with myocardial infarction and nurses’ knowledge, attitudes and perceptions, experience and educational needs regarding health literacy. Phase Two: Three studies were conducted to gather information about the problem. Study One is a descriptive survey describing coping strategies and health literacy levels of 140 Jordanian patients with myocardial infarction. Study Two is a descriptive survey which describes nurses’ health literacy practices knowledge, skills and experience, perceptions, attitudes, and educational needs in facilitating adaptive coping and treatment adherence among patients with myocardial infarction. A systematic review was conducted in Study Three to determine the effectiveness of health literacy interventions developed for registered nurses in health care facilities to improve their health literacy knowledge, experience or skills, perceptions, and attitudes towards the promotion of health literacy. | |
