Postacute Myocardial Infarction Differences in Physical Activity Behavior, Anxiety, and Depression Levels.

Background: There are limited studies regarding physical activity, anxiety, and depression levels among patients with postacute myocardial infarction (AMI). This is a need for more research on physical activity, anxiety, and depression levels based on the type of AMI following hospitalization to develop interventions to improve these outcomes.

Objective: To compare physical activity behavior, anxiety, and depression levels among patients with post-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and post-non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) not involved in cardiac rehabilitation program following hospitalization.

Demographic Differences in Insomnia and Anxiety and the Association with Cardiovascular Risk Factors among Jordanian Healthy Adult.

Background: Prior studies showed that anxiety and insomnia are both associated with Cardiovascular Disease (CVD). There is a lack of literature related to the prevalence of insomnia and anxiety among healthy adult populations in developing countries as in Jordan, Therefore, this study aimed to examine the association between the CVD risk factors and both insomnia and anxiety among healthy adults had one or more modifiable CVD risk factors.

Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional method was used to examine the prevalence of anxiety, insomnia, and demographical and clinical association with anxiety and insomnia among 1000 Jordanian adult participants using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale and the insomnia severity index.

"We do others' Jobs": a qualitative study of non-nursing task challenges and proposed solutions.

Introduction: Non-nursing tasks (NNTs) have become a prevalent issue among healthcare professionals, affecting nurses globally. This study delves into the experiences of Jordanian nurses regarding NNTs, aiming to uncover challenges and propose solutions within the Jordanian healthcare context.

Objective: Explore the impact of NNTs on Jordanian nurses' roles, workload, and satisfaction.

Predictors of Post-Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Chest Pain Among Coronary Heart Disease Patients.

Patients who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedure frequently suffer post-PCI chest pain (PPCP). This study aims to identify the changes in PPCP level and investigate the predictors of PPCP among patients with coronary heart disease at three measurement times: on admission (T1), 24 hours post-PCI (T2), and 30 days post-PCI (T3). A repeated-measure design was used.

Guideline Implementation for Improved Asthma Management and Treatment Adherence in Children in Jordan.

Asthma imposes a significant social burden on children, their families, and society at large. As a chronic health condition, effective management could greatly benefit from consistent adherence to guidelines. Despite this, minimal effort has been exerted to examine the impact of asthma management guidelines and adherence to treatment on children with asthma and the mothers caring for them.

The Impact of Type of Acute Myocardial Infarction on Cardiac Patient Self-efficacy After Hospitalization.

Background: Self-efficacy is an important psychological construct associated with patient adherence with healthy lifestyle choices. Few studies have focused on the impacts of the type of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and STEMI, and the different treatment modalities of AMI on changes in cardiac self-efficacy after hospitalization.

Objective: This study examined the changes in cardiac self-efficacy based on the type of AMI and aimed to investigate the impact of different treatment modalities on changes in cardiac self-efficacy among post-AMI patients during hospitalization and at the 3- and 6-month follow-ups subsequent to hospitalization.

The effect of food safety training program on food safety knowledge and practices in hotels' and hospitals' food services.

Food Safety Knowledge (FSK) among Food Handlers (FHS) in the food services in both hotels and hospitals has a crucial role in food protection and combating against foodborne diseases. The aim is to check the food safety (FS) training program upon FSK in the Jordanian hotels' and hospitals' food services. A pre-test-post-test design was used.

"It [Diabetes] is From God and I Need to Take Care of Myself": Type 1 Diabetes Self-Management Among Adolescents and Their Parents in Jordan.

Background: Type 1 diabetes is the most common endocrine condition among adolescents. Diabetes self-management can be challenging during adolescence.

Objective: The objective of this study is to understand how adolescents and their parents manage type 1 diabetes in Jordan.

Jordanian Patients' Family Members Need Perceptions in the Critical Care Settings: Nurses' Perspectives versus Family Members' Perspectives in the Context of Health Informatics.

Background: An unexpected hospitalization in any of the Critical Care Units (CCUs) is a stressful condition, not only for patients but also for other family members. Research in this field in Jordan is not available. The main objective of this study was to identify the most important needs as perceived by these family members in the light of this stressful event and compare them with the nurses' perceptions of the importance of these needs and also to determine the perception of the needs' importance with the sociodemographic characteristics of both family members and caring nurses.

Checking the moderating effect of perceived control on the relationship between anxiety and postoperative hospital length of stay among coronary artery bypass graft patients.

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common cardiovascular disease (CVD). Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is the most common treatment used for CAD. Patients undergoing this surgery are always anxious, which might increase complications in the postoperative period, especially prolongation of postoperative length of stay (LOS).

Persistent (Anxiety and Depression) Affected Academic Achievement and Absenteeism in Nursing Students.

Background: Anxiety and depression are common among nursing students due to different factors. When they are minimal and not persistent, they work as stimuli for good achievement. However, when they are high or persistent they have negative consequences ( low academic achievement and higher absenteeism rates).
