Nurse-Led Telephone Interventions for People with Cardiac Disease: A Review of the Research Literature

“…Seventeen studies used at least one form of questionnaire [6,16,23,28,[40][41][42]45,[48][49][50][51][52]54,[56][57][58]. Of these seventeen studies, eleven studies used more than one questionnaire [6,16,23,[40][41][42]49,52,[56][57][58].…”

“…Nine studies were conducted in the United States of America [6,18,41,42,47,51,[55][56][57], six were conducted in Canada [16,40,46,48,50,52] and three studies in Australia [26,43,54]. Two studies were conducted in the United Kingdom (UK) [18,28] and Norway [45,53] and one sample in each of Germany [23], Sweden [49] and Argentina [44].…”

Acute coronary syndromes

“…5 This was accompanied by improvement in the age-and sex-adjusted 30-day mortality from 10.5% in 1999 to 7.8% in 2008. Increasing rates of interventional management no doubt contributed to the improved outcomes but parallel increasSrce i krvni sudovi 2012; 31(2): [90][91][92][93][94][95][96][97][98][99] Almanah 2011 serija 1955 This overview highlights some recent advances in the epidemiology, diagnosis, risk stratification and treatment of acute coronary syndromes. The sheer volume of new studies reflects the robust state of global cardiovascular research but the focus here is on findings that are of most interest to the practising cardiologist.…”

“…94 Dietary recommendations usually include ω-3 fatty acid supplements 95 but this has now been questioned by the findings of two studies. In the first, 4837 patients with previous myocardial infarction were randomised to margarines containing marine n-3 fatty acids and plant-derived α-linolenic acid in a 2×2 factorial design.…”

What Happens After Health Coaching? Observational Study 1 Year Following a Randomized Controlled Trial

“…9 Health coaching has been shown to improve outcomes in cardiovascular risk factors including diabetes and hypertension. [10][11][12] Since health coaching applies principles of motivational interviewing and goal-setting to influence behavioral change and chronic disease self-management, it may have longer-lasting benefits than traditional interventions such as medications, which are only effective when taken.…”
