Objectives: Cardiovascular diseases remain a leading cause of death worldwide and recovering from myocardial infarction (MI) is challenging because the symptoms and emotional reactions are not due to physical conditions alone. The enhancement of self-efficacy through the implementation of person-centred care (PCC) in healthcare can promote the person’s recovery from MI. To guarantee that a complex intervention, such as PCC, will be successful when transferred to a new context, it must be aligned with the stakeholders’ needs and priorities. This study aims to adapt an existing PCC interventoon to a Portuguese healthcare context to enhance self-efficacy of the person who suffered a myocardial infarction. Methods: A PCC intervention successfully implemented and evaluated in a swedish healthcare context will be adapted through co-creaBon with stakeholders alongside with researchers. Stakeholders (i.e. nurses, physicians and people who suffered a MI), will be recruited from a cardiology unit from a tertiary hospital, including both inpatient and outpatient departments. Their personal narratives about the PCC intervenBon’s acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility, will be accessed by semi-structured focus group interviews with start in September 2023. Data analysis will be conducted using content analysis following a deductive approach to further inform the adaptations needed to be made for the Portuguese healthcare context. Results: Preliminary results from the study will be presented. Conclusion: A co-creation approach will enable the early involvement of providers and users as partners with a voice in the decision-making process for adaptation. Also, the implementation of PCC is expected to improve the recovery process of people suffering of MI, by allowing a greater understanding of the person's perception and role.
