Thus, this study determined the effect of self-care interventions on the sense of coherence and well-being of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

Beliefs, Attitudes, Subjective Norms and Enabling Factors (BASNEF) model were used for self-care interventions. Data were collected through a questionnaire of demographic information, sense of coherence and well-being (health index). Results: The sense of coherence and well-being scores increased significantly after self-care intervention program in the intervention group. Conclusions: The interventions based on the BASNEF model improved the sense of coherence and well-being of patients with ACS.
