As the largest community of healthcare professionals, nurses are expected to anticipate the increasing need of taking care patients with cardiovascular diseases. On top of providing actual care and treatments, health care prevention is also needed to be carried out effectively.
In this research, the aim is to review the best practices in health education for middle-aged patients with diagnoses of cardiovascular diseases. The underlying health issues and related risk factors such as behavioral and metabolic risk factors were addressed. Health promotion topics targeting risk factors plus teaching methods were reviewed subsequently for nurses to be more active and confident in planning and delivering the best practices in health education for middle-aged patients with diagnoses of cardiovascular diseases. Specific research questions are: 1) What are the health needs of middle-aged patients who are diagnosed with cardiovascular diseases? 2) What are the health promotion topics needs to be conducted to patients with cardiovascular diseases? 3) What are the best methods or practices of health education according to previous researches for educating middle-aged patients with cardiovascular diseases? 4) What is the nursing mission in prevention of cardiovascular diseases for middle-aged patients?
A literature-based approach is utilized to collect high quality research articles and other materials to answer the research questions. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were set as the boundaries to filter searching results. Reliability and validity of cited references were examined. Ethical aspects were inspected as well.
By utilizing the most comprehensive knowledge targeting each risk factor of different patient, and critically selecting the most appropriate and promising channel of conducting them, the best practices shall be formulated by a professional, skillful, and confident nurse.
Patients with cardiovascular diseases need comprehensive knowledge about CVDs. Health education topics regarding the corresponding behavioral risk factors and metabolic risk factors should be delivered in tailored ways to different patients. Using of visual assistances and other supportive methods during health education process is suggested.
Further studies shall explore new knowledge and innovative ways in health promotion on cardiovascular diseases for middle-aged population. Other risk factors are also encouraged to be explored and analyzed.
