Tiivistelmä
Obesity has become a worldwide health concern, with studies showing that obese people had a twice-higher risk of heart failure. Therefore, it is well-established that effective heart failure prevention in obese individuals, including lifestyles modifications and physical activity, greatly lowers the incidence of heart failure.
By literature review, the aim of this thesis is to broaden understanding of heart failure and obesity. In addition to providing information for nursing students and graduated nurses to avoid and recognize heart failure while caring for obese patients, the purpose of this thesis is to investigate and ascertain the relationship between obesity and heart failure in previous research. Regarding this matter, the thesis determined that heart failure has a connection to obesity through a significant number of studies. Furthermore, both obesity and heart failure can be prevented through a combination of lifestyle changes, physical activities and nursing intervention.
The methodology used in this thesis is inductive qualitative data analysis. Cochrane and PubMed were used to access the research database. 12 articles that are relevant to the main concerns were chosen and examined. The data analysis revealed that the two main themes that came up were nursing approaches and definitions.
The connections between obesity and heart failure are well proven indirectly through the risks caused by obesity and the symptoms of heart failure. Besides, lifestyle modification and physical exercise treatment are written as prevention ways of heart failure while taking care obese patients. Moreover, nursing interventions and patient education were also mentioned as solution decrease number of hospitalizations after obesity and heart failure treatment.
