What was the underlying purpose of the study? The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a newly developed nursing relational tool intended to support emotional recovery in acute cardiac patients, both during hospitalization and after discharge.
Explain the relevancy of this study to the practice of nursing. This study emphasizes emotional support as a critical aspect of cardiac care (Berardo & Mussa, 2019). It aligns with nursing’s holistic role, highlighting how structured relational tools can enhance patient outcomes, improve patient education, and reinforce trust in nursing practice.
What is this study about? (Phenomena, Concepts, Constructs) The study focuses on emotional recovery in cardiac patients, examining constructs such as emotional distress, patient-nurse communication, self-efficacy, and adherence. It explores how structured dialogue affects patients’ understanding and acceptance of their health condition.
Is the study basic or applied research? Explain your answer. This is applied research. It investigates a practical, nurse-led intervention implemented in a real clinical setting to address emotional needs and continuity of care.
What is the type (research methodology) of the study? For example: quantitative, experimental, qualitative, grounded theory. It is a qualitative study using semi-structured narrative interviews analyzed via Giorgi’s descriptive phenomenological method.

Summarize the findings of the research study. The relational tool improved patients’ emotional awareness, recovery experiences, and lifestyle adjustments post-discharge (Berardo & Mussa, 2019). Intervention group patients reported better understanding, emotional support, and satisfaction compared to the control group.
Could the research team have conducted this study as either quantitative or qualitative? Explain your stance (why or why not). No. A qualitative approach was essential to deeply explore personal emotional responses and the relational aspects central to the intervention.
