In patients with heart failure (HF), use of 30-day rehospitalization as a healthcare metric and increased pressure to provide value-based care compel providers improve efficiency an integrated approach. Transition programs are being used achieve goals. in the context HF management refers individual interventions multiple activities that designed shifts or transitions from one setting next, most often hospital home. As transitional become new normal for chronic HF, it is important understand...
The urgency and level of care provided for acute coronary syndromes partially depends on the symptoms manifested.To detect differences between women men in type, severity, location, quality across 3 clinical diagnostic categories (unstable angina, myocardial infarction without ST-segment elevation, with elevation) while controlling age, diabetes, functional status, anxiety, depression.A convenience sample 112 144 admitted through emergency department hospitalized participated. Recruitment...
Background. Health literacy has been separately associated with socio-economic status and worse health outcomes. However, the magnitude of associations between outcomes may not be evenly distributed across society. This study aims to estimate compare status, behaviours, healthcare utilisation within different levels social in Irish population. Materials methods. Data from Ireland collected as part 2011 European Literacy Survey were analysed. General was measured on a 0–50 scale, low high....
Background Patients experiencing an acute myocardial infarction are known to delay seeking treatment between 2 and 4 hours. This is problematic because individuals who receive or more hours after the onset of symptoms less likely benefit from emergent reperfusion techniques. Persons most for their reasons have not been clearly identified. Objective The purpose this study was identify effect selected demographic, clinical, cognitive, environmental variables on length time delay. In addition,...
Background: Early recognition of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) symptoms and reduced time to treatment may reduce morbidity mortality. People having AMI experience a constellation symptoms, but the common constellations or clusters have yet be identified. Objectives: To identify that represent AMI. Methods: This was secondary data analysis nine descriptive, cross-sectional studies included from 1,073 people in United States England. Data were analyzed using latent class cluster analysis,...
High rates of inhaler misuse in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma contribute to hospital readmissions increased healthcare cost.

Fatigue is a prevalent and disabling symptom associated with many acute chronic conditions, including myocardial infarction heart failure. has not been explored in patients stable coronary disease (CHD).The purpose of this partially mixed sequential dominant status study was to (a) describe fatigue CHD; (b) determine if specific demographic (gender, age, education, income), physiological (hypertension, hyperlipidemia), or psychological (depressive symptoms) variables were correlated fatigue;...
Background: A decision to delay seeking treatment for symptoms of acute coronary syndrome increases the risk serious complications, disability, and death. Aims: The purpose this study was determine if there an association between gradual vs abrupt symptom onset prehospital patients with examine relationship activities at onset. Methods: This a secondary analysis large prospective multi-center study. Altogether, 474 presenting emergency department were included in Symptom characteristics,...
Abstract The purpose of the study was to identify subgroups patients presenting with acute coronary syndromes based on symptom clusters. Two hundred fifty‐six completed a assessment in their hospital rooms. Latent class cluster analysis and variance were used classify according selected clinical characteristics. Four identified labeled as Heavy Symptom Burden, Chest Pain Only, Sweating Weak, Short Breath Weak (model fit χ 2 [130,891, n = 256] 867.5, p 1.00). largest group experienced classic...

Documentation of symptoms in the medical record provides clinicians and researchers with valuable information about patient's experience during acute myocardial infarction (AMI). To examine consistency between reported record, 215 patients were interviewed their records examined for admission symptoms. Chest pain was most frequently recorded symptom, there good agreement report record. Although fatigue second symptom by patients, it rarely documented Time onset identified 87.9% but only...

This study aimed to determine Thais' knowledge of heart attack symptoms and risk factors whether that was related age, gender or education. Via a street-intercept survey method, convenience sample people aged ≥ 35 years (n = 192) recruited. Mean age 47 ± 9.6 (range 35-81), 55.2% were female. Participants identified on average 5.6 9 (SD 1.8) 5.3 8 2.1). However, 66.7% mistakenly thought the chest discomfort would be severe, sharp stabbing, many subjects erroneously selected are actually...
Despite improvements in heart failure therapies, hospitalization readmission rates remain high. Nationally, increasing attention has been directed toward reducing and thus identifying patients with the highest risk for readmission. This article summarizes evidence related to decreasing within 30 days after discharge, focusing on acute setting. Each patient requires an individualized plan successful transition from hospital home preventing Nurses must review patient's current of care...

Limited research has been conducted on how nurses define or perceive "quality nursing care." We focus groups to identify nurses' perceptions of quality care at a Midwestern academic medical center. Transcripts the group sessions were analyzed using thematic analysis techniques, and 11 themes emerged: Leadership, Staffing, Resources, Timeliness, Effective Communication/Collaboration, Professionalism, Relationship-Based Care, Environment/Culture, Simplicity, Outcomes, Patient Experience.
