Abstract

The delay time in acute myocardial infarction(AMI) is still a challenging problem, since for many patients there are long intervals between the onset of symptoms and the initiation of therapy. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS and Pre-hospital delay time among those with myocardial infarction.In this descriptive analytical study, 200 patients with (AMI) admitted to four hospitals in Mashhad were interviewed. The delay time was defined as the time interval from the onset of symptoms and first medical intervention in a coronary care unit.The SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS included: age, sex, job, and marital status, level of education. The delay time was divided into 4 groups:1: early (0-2 h)2: medial (2-6 h)3: late (6-12 h)4: very late (more than 12h)The mean of delay time of 180eligible patients was very late (15.15 h) and the median was (4h). The minimum of delay time was 20 minutes and the maximum was (504 h). 23.88 percent had (0-2 hours) delay time, 34.44 percent (2-6h), 16.66percent (6-12 h) and 25 percent more than (12 h) delay time. the results also indicate that there were significant relationship in delay time according to level of education, (p=0.031) and sex,(p=0.039), job (p=0.069) by using, Chi square test, but there were no significant differences between age, marital status and delay time. The median of delay time in men was less than women in married less than widows and in high level education less than illiterates.Based on results of this study most patients (34.44 percent) had median delay (2-6h). Patients with higher education levels and professional occupations, married and men arrived at the hospital sooner and received treatment more quickly.Thus high-risk population (females, illiterates, widows) must be educated about sign and symptoms of myocardial infarction and thrombolitic therapy. Mass media like radio and television are suggested to be as the best mean of instruction for public education.
