Association between social support and life space mobility in older patients after percutaneous coronary intervention: mediating roles of health literacy and intrinsic capacity

Social support has an indirect impact on life space mobility through health literacy and intrinsic capacity, in addition to having a direct impact on post-PCI life space mobility in older patients. These findings underscore the importance of health literacy and intrinsic capacity as key modifiable factors. Developing comprehensive care strategies to enhance health literacy and intrinsic capacity is crucial for mitigating mobility decline and promoting successful recovery in older PCI patients.
