Compliance Behaviour After a Coronary Ischaemic Event: A Quasi-Experimental Study of Adherence to a Protocolised Follow-Up in Primary Care.

Following a coronary ischaemic event, it is essential to promote empowerment in self-care decision making. Primary care nursing is crucial for intensive follow-up to promote adherence to the therapeutic regimen. Objective: To ascertain whether adherence to a protocolised follow-up programme, with the support of a patient notebook, improves compliance behaviours in terms of physical activity, prescribed diet and medication.

NANDA-I and NOC Linkages for Six Psychosocial Nursing Diagnoses: A Validation Study.

The aim of this study was to validate the diagnostic content and the NANDA-I and NOC linkages for six psychosocial nursing diagnoses. This multicentre, descriptive, cross-sectional validation study followed Fehring's model. Expert nurses in nursing methodology and standardised nursing languages in Spain participated, with expertise criteria based on academic level and clinical, teaching, and research experience in the fields of nursing methodology and standardised nursing languages.

The Association of Genetic Markers Involved in Muscle Performance Responding to Lactate Levels during Physical Exercise Therapy by Nordic Walking in Patients with Long COVID Syndrome: A Nonrandomized Controlled Pilot Study.

Several genetic markers have shown associations with muscle performance and physical abilities, but the response to exercise therapy is still unknown. The aim of this study was to test the response of patients with long COVID through an aerobic physical therapy strategy by the Nordic walking program and how several genetic polymorphisms involved in muscle performance influence physical capabilities. Using a nonrandomized controlled pilot study, 29 patients who previously suffered from COVID-19 (long COVID = 13, COVID-19 = 16) performed a Nordic walking exercise therapy program for 12 sessions.

Effects of Aerobic Exercise Therapy through Nordic Walking Program in Lactate Concentrations, Fatigue and Quality-of-Life in Patients with Long-COVID Syndrome: A Non-Randomized Parallel Controlled Trial.

Background: Long-COVID syndrome comprises a variety of signs and symptoms that develop during or after infection with COVID-19 which may affect the physical capabilities. However, there is a lack of studies investigating the effects of Long-COVID syndrome in sport capabilities after suffering from COVID-19 infection. The purpose of the study was to evaluate and compare lactate concentration and quality of life (QoL) in patients with Long-COVID with those who have not developed non-Long-COVID during Nordic walking exercise therapy.

Predictive Factors and Gene Polymorphisms in Susceptibility to Long COVID-19 Syndrome.

Long COVID-19 syndrome is present in 5-10% of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2, and there is still little information on the predisposing factors that lead to its development. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the predictive factors in early symptoms, clinical features and the role of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme-2 () c.513-1451G>A (rs2106806) and c.

Intensive nurse-led follow-up in primary care to improve self-management and compliance behaviour after myocardial infarction.

Aims And Objectives: To assess the effects of intensive follow-up by primary care nurses on cardiovascular disease self-management and compliance behaviours after myocardial infarction.

Background: Although cardiovascular disease prevention and cardiac rehabilitation take place in hospital settings, a nurse-led approach is necessary in primary care during the first few months after a myocardial infarction. Therefore, it is important to assess self-management of cardiovascular disease and levels of compliance with the prescribed diet, physical activity, and medication.

Construct Validity and Test-Retest Reliability of a Free Mobile Application to Evaluate Aerobic Capacity and Endurance in Post-COVID-19 Syndrome Patients-A Pilot Study.

Introduction: Disability associated with the symptoms of post-COVID-19 syndrome is one of its main features and can have a considerable impact on care and rehabilitation units. This, linked to a decreased aerobic capacity and endurance in post-COVID-19 syndrome patients, increases interest in studying the potential of mobile applications to assess performance capacity. The purpose of this research was to study how a free mobile application assesses aerobic capacity and endurance and its relationship with aerobic capacity, test-retest reliability, and endurance evaluated by a conventional test, along with fatigue and health-related quality of life.

Chronic cardiovascular nursing care in Spanish primary care: A qualitative study.

Aims: We aimed to investigate the perspective of primary care nurses on their role with patients who have chronic cardiovascular disease and to identify cultural elements shared by nurses caring for people with chronic cardiovascular disease. In primary care, the role of the nurse is essential to promote self-efficacy in cardiovascular self-care. Individuals with chronic cardiovascular disease need to integrate the disease into their life, together with the health recommendations for management and follow-up.

Long-Term Care Facilities and Nursing Homes during the First Wave of the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Scoping Review of the Perspectives of Professionals, Families and Residents.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had significant repercussions for nursing home residents, their families, and professionals. The objective was to describe the perspectives of residents, their families, and nursing home employees during the COVID-19 pandemic. A scoping review was carried out using the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews.

The efficacy of an integrated care training program for primary care nurses for the secondary prevention of cardiovascular risk.

Objective: to assess the effect of the "Program of Training in Integral Care for Secondary Cardiovascular Prevention in Primary Care Nursing" on the level of knowledge, the degree of application of comprehensive cardiovascular care, and on the continuity of care between the cardiac rehabilitation and primary care units, in relation to post-infarction patients.

Methods: Quasi-experimental before-after study without control group. Comprised an ad-hoc survey prior to training via the Internet and a post-training survey; both the pre- and post-course surveys were anonymous.

[Cardiovascular risk stratification using the score scale on the European cardiovascular prevention risk day in health centres in the Madrid region].

Objective: To quantify the cardiovascular risk in a Primary Health Care population using the SCORE chart.

Method: Multicenter, observational, descriptive study including 1324 health professionals (nurses, physicians, students, etc) employees of any of the eleven Madrid Region Health Areas in order to determinate the cardiovascular risk by the SCORE chart in subjects between 40 and 65 years that attended to their health centre in a voluntary way because of the European Day of Prevention of Cardiovascular Risk.

Results: A total of 5025 questionnaires were collected from 142 health centres, with 69.

[Problem solution method. Experience of a nursing organization].

To develop and improve nursing teams' planning and organization by means of shared and consensual group solutions with the goal to achieve greater motivation and satisfaction in their work. The author employs a management study using a business improvement method by means of problem solving techniques which involves the identification of problems and/or necessities and a group search for, and execution of, solutions. Evaluation is carried out by means of satisfaction and opinion questionnaires, both at the half-way point in this study and at the end of it filled out by nursing personnel and by the health center's multidisciplinary team as well at the end of this study.
