Patients goals, resources, and barriers to future change: A qualitative study of patient reflections at hospital discharge after myocardial infarction

Person-centred care that allows personal narratives to emerge may enable health-care professionals to offer more individualised guidance to MI patients that will help them cope with the everyday challenges they experience after discharge.
