Multilevel obstacles to heart-healthy living in the context of Ischemic heart disease: A qualitative study
This study identified multifaceted lifestyle modification barriers in IHD patients including sociocultural, economic, individual, and healthcare system factors. These necessitate community-based intervention, financial support for healthy living, tailored education, and health system reform to include systematic lifestyle counseling in regular care. Future studies are needed to evaluate the feasibility of these interventions to improve long-term health outcomes in IHD patients.
