Core Tip

Core Tip: High levels of social support help caregivers implement care. Intervention in the social support function of the primary caregiver is beneficial for the postoperative recovery of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) after interventional therapy. To find a new intervention direction, we proposed a relationship between the social support function of primary caregivers of patients with AMI, and anxiety and depression; this is a breakthrough in improving the social support function of primary caregivers.
