ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

Coronary artery disease including acute coronary syndrome (ACS) constitutes the most common cause of death in people with cardiovascular disease. Prompt diagnosis and early initiation of treatment significantly impact on patient outcomes. Positive patient experience with their initial care is linked to positive clinical outcomes.

OBJECTIVE:

This qualitative review aimed to investigate patients' experience of care provision and the challenges faced by them during their different stages of care following an ACS.

METHODS:

Searches of four databases - MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL and PsychINFO - were conducted from inception until July 13, 2022, and were limited to English-language publications. Assessment of methodological quality of studies was performed using the Jonna Briggs Institute (JBI) qualitative assessment and review instrument. Data were extracted using the standardised data extraction tool from JBI. Data synthesis following the JBI approach of meta-aggregation was performed. The level of confidence for each synthesised finding was established based on ConQual.

RESULTS:

Overall, from 578 records, 10 studies were included with 39 findings extracted from the included studies. The main synthesised findings were the need to provide tailored information and appropriate management at different stages of care, and that timely management and trust in health care workers are associated with greater patient satisfaction and more positive experiences.

CONCLUSION:

Patients with an ACS experience many challenges during different stages of their care. Clinicians should be aware of the challenges they face and provide tailored information to patients that is appropriate for their different stages of management in order to best optimise patient experience and improve patient outcomes.
