About

A cardiac pacemaker is an artificial apparatus that stimulates the myocardium electrically to depolarize, to begin a contraction when the heart's natural pacemaker does not work properly. Pacemakers are essential when dysrhythmias or conduction defects compromise the electrical system and the heart's hemodynamic response.

The current status aimed to assess the feasibility of motivational interviewing on emotional intelligence, dispositional optimism, and adherence to care practices among patients with permanent pacemaker.

Full description

According to the Miller and Rollnick principles, the framework of the motivational interviewing group's sessions was taken from the workbook of the intervention's six motivational interviewing sessions. A researcher recruited participants in groups of 7 patients for six sessions of 60-90 minutes each (two sessions per week). The training sessions covered stress alleviation, appropriate drug usage, quitting smoking, regular physical activity, healthy eating habits, and regular physical activity. Patients in the control group got standard treatment for PPM, including education on proper medication usage, nutrition, exercise, and regular checking.
