Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: The delay time from onset of symptoms of a myocardial infarction to seeking medical assistance can have life-threatening consequences. Women delay significantly more often than men do in calling for medical help, once symptoms of a myocardial infarction occur.
UNASSIGNED: The current qualitative study\'s main aim was to explore psychosocial factors that contribute to Israeli women\'s delaying calls for medical assistance and, by contrast, the motivational factors that encourage them to do so.
UNASSIGNED: A qualitative study.
UNASSIGNED: In total, 12 women were interviewed shortly after experiencing a myocardial infarction. Qualitative data were subjected to thematic analysis.
UNASSIGNED: Two major themes emerged describing barriers to seeking help: (1) the use of denial as a defense mechanism and (2) the need for control. The motivational factor which enhanced help-seeking was \"fear of death.\"
UNASSIGNED: These findings may help in designing gender-sensitive interventions with the aim of minimizing the symptom onset to call time and thus preventing irreversible and life-threatening health damage.

摘要：
■从心肌梗塞症状发作到寻求医疗救助的延迟时间可能会危及生命。女性在寻求医疗帮助方面比男性延迟得多，一旦出现心肌梗塞的症状。
■当前的定性研究的主要目的是探索导致以色列妇女延迟要求医疗救助的社会心理因素，相比之下,鼓励他们这样做的动机因素。
■定性研究。
■总共，12名妇女在经历心肌梗塞后不久接受了采访。对定性数据进行主题分析。
■出现了两个主要主题，描述了寻求帮助的障碍：（1）使用否认作为防御机制和（2）控制的需要。增强寻求帮助的动机因素是“对死亡的恐惧”。
■这些发现可能有助于设计对性别敏感的干预措施，目的是最大限度地减少症状发作的时间，从而防止不可逆转和危及生命的健康损害。
