Abstract

Objectives

This study explored Danish men's experience of participating in a screening program for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and their perceptions of preventive medication for CVD before and after participation in the screening program.

Methods

An exploratory phenomenological-hermeneutical study. Fifteen men from a cardiovascular screening program for men aged 65–74 years participated. Semi-structured interviews were conducted before screening and one year later (2015–2017). The interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed using Kvale and Brinkmann's approach to data analysis.

Results

Two main themes were identified: (i) seeking confirmation and control of health: familiarity with CVD; understanding the screening program; confirmation of health; perception of preventive medication, and (ii) sense of own health and prevention: experiences with the screening program; accept or denial of diagnosis and preventive medication.

Conclusion

A minority of the men understood the nature of the diseases for which they were being examined. The invitation for screening and the outcome of the examinations must be communicated more skilfully. The health providers need to engage early in treatment after the screening and provide an individualised plan that addresses patients concerns and knowledge based on their needs.

丹麦男性心血管筛查经历及对心血管预防用药的看法:一项质的探索性护士研究

本研究探讨了丹麦男性参加心血管疾病（CVD）筛查项目的经历，以及他们在参加筛查项目前后对心血管疾病预防药物的看法。15 名 65-74 岁男性参加了心血管筛查项目。在筛查前和一年后（2015-2017 年）进行了半结构化访谈。访谈内容逐字誊写，并采用 Kvale 和 Brinkmann 的数据分析方法进行分析：(i) 寻求对健康的确认和控制：熟悉心血管疾病；了解筛查计划；确认健康；对预防性药物的认识，以及 (ii) 对自身健康和预防的认识：筛查计划的经验；接受或拒绝接受诊断和预防性药物。必须更巧妙地传达筛查邀请和检查结果。医疗服务提供者需要在筛查后及早参与治疗，并根据患者的需求提供个性化的计划，以解决患者的疑虑和了解相关知识。
