Nurses’ presence and availability for non-verbal and verbal communication created a trustful relationship where new knowledge was acquired and motivational strength for life-style changes was mobilized. A person-centered perspective was preferred, where relatives were invited into the conversation. </span><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"></strong></span></span></p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black; line-height: 200%; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;" lang="EN-GB">Conclusions:</span></strong><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span lang="EN-GB"> <span style="color: black;">These results highlight that patient–nurse communication based on the patient’s view is possible in acute care after MI, and is an issue of attitude rather than time. </span><span class="longtext"><span style="background: white;">Trust lays the foundation for a person-centered communication and is developed through the nurse’s presence and availability not only in the emergency phase, but throughout hospitalization. Discussions focused on personal action plans with emphasis on the </span></span>patient’s health assets may facilitate a successful rehabilitation.</span><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"></strong></span></span></p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span>
