FP48 How do Cardiac Nurses Experience the Collaboration with an Advanced Practice Nursing Team in Adult Congenital Heart Disease?

Abstract

S27 goals. Participants often lacked detailed information about dietary change and how far they could "push" with physical activity levels. They were often uncertain about when hospital care ended and whether other support was available. Co-existing conditions such as diabetes and obesity made dietary change and physical activity a challenge. Conclusion: Participants in this study were aware that they needed to make lifestyle changes but would be better equipped if given more practical skills about how this could be achieved.
