Abstract:

Acute decompensation of chronic heart failure is common and results in many patients being re-hospitalized every year (Jancin 2008). One of four voluntary core measures deployed by the Joint Commission for evaluation of quality of heart failure care in hospitals is heart failure discharge instructions, also called core measure HF1. Although the core measure is a widely disseminated standardized measure related to discharge education, there is little evidence about its impact on patient or readmission outcomes. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the completion o

Abstract:

Managing patients diagnosed with congestive heart failure (CHF) requires coordination with subspecialties and frequent outpatient monitoring. The lack of communication among health care providers and patients can result in a gap in practice when managing patients with CHF in the outpatient setting. Guided by the chronic care model, this quality improvement project was an initiative to develop and implement a 6-week self-care management program provided by nurse practitioners in an outpatient primary care practice. The goal of the project was to improve the day-to-day self-care management of pa

Abstract:

Globally individuals and health care systems are facing the burden of chronic illness. The impact of the increasing burden of non-communicable diseases is experienced by individuals and health care systems. Across the globe health care systems are struggling to meet the increasing demands for services within the confines of rising costs and needs for accountability. Beyond costs and treatment allocations, there is an increasing mandate to provide care that is patient centred and appropriate to the needs of the individual.

Abstract:

Background: Symptomatic heart failure is a chronic and disabling condition that affects over 350 000 Canadians and is characterized by inevitable progression. Historically, research on the ways to increase survival has focused on biomedical factors. However, the continued poor prognosis of heart failure has prompted the search for other ways to improve the lives of these patients. Research in other chronic conditions demonstrates that social circumstances, described collectively as individual social interactions (e.g. social support, social participation) and community social factors (e.g. soc

Abstract:

Patients with heart failure (HF) must monitor and recognize escalating symptoms to manage worsening HF in a timely manner. However, routine symptom monitoring is not commonly performed by this population. Providing a symptom diary along with an education and counseling session may help HF patients promote symptom monitoring and interpretation. The accumulated information about changes in daily symptoms will allow patients to easily compare current symptom status to the past without depending on memory and can rapidly capture worsening HF. To date, few studies have tested the effect of a daily

Abstract:

Heart failure is a common diagnosis in the intensive care unit (ICU) with many studies regarding left ventricular systolic dysfunction and ICU outcomes.

We sought to study the impact of both diastolic heart failure and right ventricular heart failure on general ICU outcomes.

Abstract:

Heart failure is a growing cause of morbidity in an ageing population. Despite increasing use of clinically proven therapies its overall prognosis remains poor, and our knowledge of outcomes in some patient groups is still very limited. Most of existing evidence is based on clinical trial populations, which often exclude ethnic minorities, women or sicker elderly patients.

Sleep disturbance is common in patients with heart failure (HF) and the family caregivers. Sleep disturbance is known as a predictor of poor quality of life (QoL) in individual level. The manner in which patients’ and caregivers’ sleep disturbances influence each other’s QoL has not been determined. The purpose of this dissertation was to investigate the associations of sleep disturbance and outcomes in patients with HF and their primary family caregivers. The specific aims were to: 1) examine whether sleep disturbance of patients and their family caregivers predict their own and their partner

Abstract:

A estabilidade clínica de pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca (IC) ainda é um desafio para equipe de saúde, pois as elevadas taxas de descompensação da doença são frequentes e, assim, requerem maiores investimentos no avanço de protocolos de cuidados. Na área da enfermagem, verifica-se que intervenções específicas ainda não foram adequadamente estudadas, principalmente dentro de um referencial teórico próprio, como as classificações NANDA-I-NIC-NOC. O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar a efetividade da implementação de intervenções e atividades, por meio dos resultados, a pacientes com insuficiê

Abstract:

L’insuffisance cardiaque est un problème de santé publique dans les pays développés, touchant 1 à 2% de la population générale, mais dont la prévalence atteint 10% après 70 ans. Les progrès thérapeutiques ont permis d’améliorer le pronostic des patients, notamment ceux ayant une altération de la fonction systolique ventriculaire gauche. Les troubles du rythme sont fréquents et nécessitent une pris en charge particulière au cours des situations d’insuffisance cardiaque. Cependant, il reste des questions non résolues : comment améliorer l’efficacité du traitement de l’insuffisance cardiaque à fo

Abstract:

Postoperative heart failure (PHF) remains a major determinant of the outcome after cardiac surgery. However, characteristics of and risk factors for PHF after valve surgery have received little attention. Post-ischaemic disturbances of myocardial metabolism that may contribute to PHF and are amenable to metabolic treatment have been identified early after coronary surgery (CABG). Knowledge derived from these studies may not be applicable to other patient groups. We therefore studied myocardial energy metabolism in 20 elective patients undergoing aortic valve replacement (AVR) for isolated aort

Abstract:

Improving the nutritional status of hospitalized patients has been shown to reduce length of stay (LOS), hospital costs, readmission rates, complication rates, and mortality. Provision of nutrient-rich, liquid, oral nutrition supplements (ONS) is one approach to improving nutritional status. ONS use has been associated with improved outcomes among patients with diagnoses of orthopedic injuries and pressure ulcers, mainly using prospective designs among elderly and/or malnourished patients. Less information is available for other diagnoses, and no analysis of the effects of ONS could be found t
