Depression and anxiety symptom network structure among patients with coronary heart disease and association with quality of life: protocol for a multicentre cross-sectional and prospective longitudinal study.

Background: Anxiety and depression are critical mental health problems among persons with coronary heart disease (CHD). The range of symptoms is an important stressor for adverse cardiovascular events, and these symptoms can be involved in various ways during the course of CHD. However, the characteristics and mechanisms of comorbidity between the two mental states from the viewpoint of symptom interactions in patients with CHD remain unclear.

An exploration of proactive health oriented symptom patterns in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with stent implantation: A mixed-methods study protocol.

Background: Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases worldwide. Currently, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent implantation is the main clinical treatment for CHD, and patients can achieve better outcomes after stenting. However, adverse cardiovascular events continue to recur, ultimately failing to yield good results.

Prevalence and factors influencing cognitive impairment among the older adult stroke survivors: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Cognitive impairment as a complication in post-stroke patients has high prevalence throughout the world. However, few studies have focused on the older adult stroke survivors and explored their prevalence and factors of post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI). The study aims to evaluate the cognitive status of stroke patients in Hunan Province, China and to determine the potential risk factors associated with PSCI in order to identify the older adult population in advance and promote healthy aging.

Purpose: Guided by the transition theory, this study investigates the midlife experiences of South Asian immigrant women in Canada.

Factors influencing healthy menopause among immigrant women: a scoping review.

Background: Many factors influence the menopausal transition and the complexity of this transition increases with the addition of immigration transition. This review aims to identify the factors that influence the menopausal transition for immigrant women based on ecosocial theory.

Methods: A scoping review of English publications was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines using CINAHL, AgeLine, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, ERIC, Nursing and Allied Health Database, PsycARTICLES, Sociology Database, and Education Research Complete.

Menopausal transition experiences and management strategies of Chinese immigrant women: a scoping review.

Importance And Objective: Chinese immigrants are among some of the fastest growing groups in many Western countries, and experience challenges such as language barriers, education gaps, and gender discrimination, which highlights the need for special attention and consideration in Western health care. The purpose of this scoping review is to summarize existing research on the menopausal experiences of Chinese immigrant women (CIW).

Methods: This scoping review was written in accordance with PRISMA guidelines.

Examination of a Nurse-led Community-based Education and Coaching Intervention for Coronary Heart Disease High-risk Individuals in China.

Purpose: Early detection and management of coronary heart disease (CHD) are embedded into many community health service and primary care practices in western countries. The Framingham CHD risk score has been used to predict CHD and mortality for nearly 20 years, and it has predicted CHD event risk accurately in multiethnic populations.
