Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the major cause of morbidity and mortality, globally. Nurses are the largest body of health care professionals who attempt to reduce the burden of cardiovascular diseases. Design: This study employed a descriptive analytical cross-sectional study design to answer the research questions. Methodology: The data were collected from 70 participants using two instruments. Knowledge was assessed through a 50-multiple-choice questions-based questionnaire, whereas, to assess the practices, an observational checklist was utilized which comprised of 20 components. Findings: The majority of the nurses, 54.3%, had adequate, 40% nurses had inadequate, and only 5.7% nurses had excellent knowledge scores. Moreover, 87.1% nurses were observed as carrying out unsatisfactory practices, whereas, only 12.9% nurses were found carrying out satisfactory practices. Conclusion: Since variation in the practices was observed in each of the department, therefore, there is a need for further research, to assess nurses’ attitudes through a qualitative approach and to develop and implement a standard post-cardiac catheterization care protocol.展开更多
目的:探讨基于清洁间歇导尿术的自我护理在脊髓损伤后神经源性膀胱患者中的应用效果。方法:将86例脊髓损伤后神经源性膀胱患者按随机数字表法分为对照组和观察组各43例,对照组实施留置导尿法护理,观察组实施基于清洁间歇导尿术的自我护...目的:探讨基于清洁间歇导尿术的自我护理在脊髓损伤后神经源性膀胱患者中的应用效果。方法:将86例脊髓损伤后神经源性膀胱患者按随机数字表法分为对照组和观察组各43例,对照组实施留置导尿法护理,观察组实施基于清洁间歇导尿术的自我护理。比较两组患者干预前、干预3个月后膀胱功能恢复情况,泌尿系统感染发生情况及生活质量量表(QOL)评分变化。结果:干预3个月后,观察组膀胱容量、膀胱压力均明显高于干预前,膀胱残余尿量明显低于干预前,且两组干预后组间比较差异有统计学意义( P <0.05);观察组泌尿系统感染发生率低于对照组( P <0.05);干预3个月后,两组患者QOL中生理领域、心理领域、主观感受、社会关系领域、环境领域评分均较干预前升高,且观察组高于对照组( P <0.05)。结论:脊髓损伤后神经源性膀胱患者应用基于清洁间歇导尿术的自我护理,有助于减少并发症,缓解膀胱功能障碍,改善患者预后。展开更多
目的探讨手术前插尿管时机的选择。方法选择需插导尿管择期普外手术的患者120例,随机分为试验组和对照组,分别在麻醉前用药后20 m in及麻醉前用药前插导尿管,比较两组患者的血压、心率及插管一次成功率。结果两组患者血压、心率及插管...目的探讨手术前插尿管时机的选择。方法选择需插导尿管择期普外手术的患者120例,随机分为试验组和对照组,分别在麻醉前用药后20 m in及麻醉前用药前插导尿管,比较两组患者的血压、心率及插管一次成功率。结果两组患者血压、心率及插管一次成功率间差别均有显著性意义(P<0.01)。结论麻醉前用药20 m in后插导尿管,可明显减轻患者的痛苦、心理压力,提高插导尿管的成功率。展开更多
