The unrepaired consequences begin which influence on quality of patient's life and his family by the time of dismiss from hospital. It is important to prepare the patient on a different life style, which is dependent of time that has passed from the event too. Purpose: The purpose of degree is the research of different life style of patients after the acute myocardial heart attack in the first six months after dismiss from the hospital and to expose the role of nurse by time of hospitalisation in term of preparations on expected changes by review of existing literature. Methods: In degree work we used descriptive method of work with literature rev iew in the Slovenian and English language. We used the time period from year 2006 to 2017 during our searching. The literature was searched in the CINAHL, MEDLINE (PubMed) and Whiley Online Library databases and in COBIB.SI database with keywords: nursing/zdravstvena nega, health education/zdravstvena vzgoja, quality of life/kakovost življenja, acute myocardial infarction/akutni miokardni infarkt, return to work/vrnitev v službo, symptoms/simptomi, six months/šest mesecev, fatigue/utrujenost, sleep disturbances/motnje spanja, physical activity/fizična aktivnost, moški, ženske/male vs. female, discharge/odpust. For answering the research questions we reviewed 8 articles and we evaluated the power of analysed articles on a four level scale. Results: We have found that the most common disorders which occur after six months of acute mycardial infarction: anxiety, depression, vital exhaustion, tiredness, sexual disorders and sleep disorders. Changes importantly effect on quality of life. The nurse can help patient and her relatives to fight the change with an individual adapted way. Results: We have found that there are nursing problems present in the patients six months after the myocardial heart attack: tiredness, anxiety, fear, lonliness, sexual disorders, sleep disorders, lack of knowledge and the danger of occurence of posttraumatic syndrome. This all influence on patient's quality of life. By the time of acute hospitalisation medical nurse can provide the support to the patient and his family, plans the conversation about the possible troubles, encourages the suitable physical activity and with training of relaxation techniques she provides to the reduction of number of nursing problems after the dismissal from hospital. Discussion and conclusion: Nursing problems which occur due to damage of heart muscle can importantly reduce the quality of life in the first six months after the dismissal from hospital. They can lead to the social isolation of the patient and they are often an obstacle to patient's anewly incorporation to work activity. Medical education by the time of patient's life in hospital is the key value for easier acceptance and relieving of nursing problems and better rehabilitation. The medical nurse must need psychological support all the time to the patients with accute myocardial heart attack and to their relatives. She must recognise the patient's individual needs and wishes to improve the quality of life.
