After a traumatic event, the need for psychosocial support is indispensible. In the article written by Lena Junehag, Kenneth Asplund, and Marianne Svedlund, the need for psychosocial support after an acute myocardial infarction is supported. A support system for the AMI recovery patients is documented throughout the article with different variations of support.

The researchers used various author’s existing idea to form their own. The overall study questions were original, and the study was backed up thoroughly with facts from existing studies. I believe this article to be a well-rounded study that found important issues that needed to be addressed. One being the improvement in follow-up care for the CCUs.

The study was also able to support existing studies in the need for support of recovering AMI patients. The time line at which each patient needed the support was not determined, but the overall need was established. This study was well rounded, and was able to support existing studies. The in- depth processes allowed the researchers to conduct a non-bias study, which produced factual information that can be used for nursing education. Patient centered care is the main goal of the healthcare community, and with the help of this study patients recovering from an AMI can be better cared
