Heart attack patients get emotional boost from quick hospital chat

This study tested a short, personalized talk with a nurse plus a summary leaflet (called CABIN) for 40 adults who had a serious heart attack (STEMI). The goal was to see if this approach is practical and helps patients feel better mentally and emotionally. Participants were split into two groups: one got the full CABIN chat, the other a shorter version. They filled out questionnaires before, right after, and at 3-4 and 14 weeks later. The study also gathered feedback from patients and staff to improve the program for a larger future trial.
