Therefore, it is important to show how the illness affects the relationship in the couple's daily life when the closest relatives involved are men.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Aim.\u2002<\/jats:bold> The aim was to illuminate the meaning of lived experiences in daily life after an acute myocardial infarction, as narrated by afflicted women and their partners.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods.\u2002<\/jats:bold> Nine women and their partners narrated their experiences three and 12\u2003months after an infarction. The interview texts were then interpreted, using a phenomenological hermeneutic method, inspired by the philosophy of Ricoeur. The text was divided into meaning units that were condensed and abstracted. Two themes and eight sub\u2010themes were then extracted from the text.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results.\u2002<\/jats:bold> The first theme was \u2018living in a changed life situation\u2019 with the sub\u2010themes: \u2018showing consideration\u2019, \u2018taking responsibility\u2019, \u2018living side by side\u2019 and \u2018desiring what to do\u2019. The second theme was \u2018looking to the future\u2019 with the sub\u2010themes: \u2018feeling uncertain\u2019, \u2018feeling powerless\u2019, \u2018feeling limited\u2019 and \u2018feeling hope\u2019.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions.\u2002<\/jats:bold> The results revealed that couples lived in a changed life situation, somewhat in \u2018discordance\u2019, and showed consideration to each other in order to protect the partner. There seemed to be a lack of verbal communication, but both women and their partners revealed that they sensed how their partners felt without verbal communication. In this \u2018discordance\u2019, couples may experience loneliness, in that they may not share feelings about the event and the situation it causes.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Relevance to clinical practice.\u2002<\/jats:bold> Women and their partner have specific needs in daily living following an acute myocardial infarction. Therefore, nurses should acknowledge the specific needs for the female patient and the partner more clearly.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2702.2004.00915.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,12,26]],"date-time":"2004-12-26T20:51:46Z","timestamp":1104094306000},"page":"438-446","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":47,"title":["Myocardial infarction: narrations by afflicted women and their partners of lived experiences in daily life following an acute myocardial infarction"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Marianne","family":"Svedlund","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ella","family":"Danielson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2004,4,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_20_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/08870449808406137"},{"key":"e_1_2_20_3_1","first-page":"450","article-title":"Psychological stress in spouses of patients with myocardial infarction","volume":"11","author":"Bedsworth J.A.","year":"1982","journal-title":"Heart and Lung"},{"key":"e_1_2_20_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1054\/chec.2000.0095"},{"key":"e_1_2_20_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/13548500120101522"},{"key":"e_1_2_20_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0037-7856(76)90059-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_20_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005082-199010000-00010"},{"key":"e_1_2_20_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2648.2000.01406.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_20_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000288371"},{"key":"e_1_2_20_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2648.1989.tb01522.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_20_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/clc.4960100409"},{"key":"e_1_2_20_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006842-199111000-00004"},{"key":"e_1_2_20_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"406","DOI":"10.1521\/jscp.1993.12.4.406","article-title":"The onset of chronic illness \u2013 its effect on the patient\u2010spouse relationship","volume":"12","author":"Helgeson V.S.","year":"1993","journal-title":"Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology"},{"key":"e_1_2_20_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2648.2000.01622.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_20_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/104973159900900603"},{"key":"e_1_2_20_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2648.1999.01103.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_20_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006842-200103000-00005"},{"key":"e_1_2_20_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2648.1994.20020245.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_20_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006842-200003000-00011"},{"key":"e_1_2_20_20_1","volume-title":"The Structure of Behavior","author":"Merleau\u2010Ponty M.","year":"1983"},{"key":"e_1_2_20_21_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/nur.4770070304"},{"key":"e_1_2_20_22_1","first-page":"233","volume-title":"Narrative Psychology.
