Background: Heart surgery is an effective intervention for managing heart disease, the leading cause of death globally. After surgery, physical activity key to improving patients’ quality life and decreasing mortality, but patients are frequently physically inactive after surgery. Objective: This cross-sectional pilot study aimed examine how psychosocial sleep factors influenced in The mediating role between was also examined. Methods: Thirty-three who had undergone were recruited....
Background: Cardiac patients often experience sleep problems and reduced physical activity (PA) after cardiac surgery. Sleep PA are known to have a reciprocal interaction, but their temporal dynamic relationship remains unexplored in this population. Objective: This study aimed examine the bidirectional between surgery using cross-lagged panel model (CLPM). Methods: exploratory, longitudinal involved secondary analysis of previous data. The sample consisted 33 adults who had undergone...
A novel semiconducting biomaterial composed of salt leached poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and chloride-doped polypyrrole (PPy–Cl) was created using a simple, yet flexible, synthesis technique. The three-step method consists (1) spin casting solution PLGA-salt, (2) leaching combined with pyrrole infusion, (3) electrochemical PPy–Cl. This technique resulted in unique micron- nano-scale surface morphology that can be modulated by altering the conditions endows films electrical properties...
The Theory of Planned Behavior was developed to explain human behaviors. theory has been broadly applied health-related behaviors in nursing science but not examined depth based on a critical framework. This article systematically analyzes and evaluates the Fawcett DeSanto-Madeya's 2013 reflects metaparadigm concepts both social theoretical significance as well pragmatic adequacy, its testability is supported by abundant empirical evidence. However, theory's internal consistency clarity...
Abstract Introduction After cardiac surgery, patients often experience sleep disturbances, including poor quality and increased awakenings. Sleep benefits postoperative physical function overall recovery has been related to activity. Physical activity have daily variations, but no study examined their relationships on a basis after surgery. To address this gap, we investigated the effects of in postsurgical patients. Methods Employing longitudinal pilot design, 33 adults aged 18 80 who had...
