Summary

This study looked at 250 adults with stable coronary artery disease to see if feeling empowered and having a sense of purpose (called 'ikigai' in Japanese) are connected. Researchers used surveys to measure these feelings and how they relate to each other. The goal is to help nurses and doctors better support heart patients in managing their health and finding joy in life.
