Determinants of health ‐related quality of life among outpatients with acute coronary artery disease after percutaneous coronary intervention

ConclusionThis study proposes a comprehensive approach to health care that incorporates symptom experience, as well as the physiological, psychological, and situational aspects based on the theory of unpleasant symptoms, to improve the HRQoL among outpatients with ACS. Nurses should play a key role to help patients with ACS to deal with the symptoms, low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol, and depression and to promote social support, particularly in less‐educated patients, in order to improve their HRQoL.
