These risk factors were examined through a retrospective chart review of the population of patients who developed SSIs during the study period.Results: The study population was characterized by a high prevalence of riskfactors including age, diabetes, obesity, operative time, blood glucose control, surgical re-exploration, blood transfusions, and emergency context, as well as differences from best practice guidelines such as preoperative showering. Compared to other populations in the literature, several ofthese risk factors were more prevalent at the study site than in the other comparable populations.Conclusion: The patient population had a relatively high prevalence of riskfactors, and the care received by these patients varied in some ways from best practices. Using best practice guidelines, known risk factors, and the data specific to the institution can provide insightsfor analysis and practice improvement efforts in the form of identifying at-risk patients, improving adherence to best practice guidelines, targeting areas to focus care efforts, and improving clincal documentation.","PeriodicalId":77057,"journal":{"name":"Canadian journal of cardiovascular nursing = Journal canadien en soins infirmiers cardio-vasculaires","volume":"26 4","pages":"19-26"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"35847160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unfortunately, most cardiac survivors do not receive specialized rehabilitation during their acute hospitalization and there are no clinical pathways that currently exist to guide acute care practitioners regarding the appropriate timing of cognitive screens and early rehabilitation interventions. This tertiary care institution designed and implemented a clinical pathway and patient and family education tools, which have systematically improved the identification and treatment ofpatients requiring cognitive rehabilitation.

The province of New-foundland and Labrador has one of the highest rates of vascular disease in comparison to the rest of Canada. Women in New-foundland and Labrador have higher rates of vascular disease than their female cohorts across Canada. A vascular risk reduction programfor women aged 35 to 65 years was developed and implemented in a rural and an urban setting.Purpose: An evaluation of the program was conducted to assess the impact of the program on participants' satisfaction and to assess how women were able to apply acquired knowledge into their everyday lives to improve their vascular health.Procedure: A thematic analysis of qualitative data collected during tvo focus groups (N=19) was completed.Findings: Three core themes were identified that captured the experiences of the women who participated in the program including Solidifying One's Risk, Translating Knowledge into Action, and Making a Change.Implications: Implementation of community-based vascular education programs must consider the context in which the program is delivered, the population's unique needs, and existing resources if they are to be successful in sustaining healthy lifestyle behaviours known to decrease one's riskfor vascular disease.","PeriodicalId":77057,"journal":{"name":"Canadian journal of cardiovascular nursing = Journal canadien en soins infirmiers cardio-vasculaires","volume":"26 4","pages":"5-12"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"35847163","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although two participants voiced the belief that the elective PCI cured their disease, this perception did not appear to influence their engagement in risk reduction behaviours. However, systemfactors such as a lack of information, direction, and/or support from health care providers appeared to play a limiting role in their ability to move forward with lifestyle change.Background: Elective ad-hoc percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) are increasingly used to manage the symptoms of coronary artery disease (CAD). However, we have limited understanding of the patients' experiences and health behaviours post-procedure.Purpose: Explore the factors that influence the perceptions and health behaviours of patients after elective ad-hoc PCI.Methods: This interpretive descriptive study used purposive sampling to recruit participants (N = 10) aged 44 to 65 years following an elective ad-hoc PCI from a cardiac catheterization laboratory at a tertiary centre in Winnipeg, MB. Participants were interviewed 11 to 35 days following their procedure. Recruitment continued until no new substantive themes emerged. The Health Belief Model provided the frameworkfor developing, exploring, interpreting, and analyzing the data.Practice implications: Nurses have a key role in the education of patients and in providingpatient-centred care that supports lifestyle change. Nurses need to develop strategies that decrease barriers to engaging in risk reduction behaviours following elective ad-hoc PCI if patients are to experience improved health and longevity.","PeriodicalId":77057,"journal":{"name":"Canadian journal of cardiovascular nursing = Journal canadien en soins infirmiers cardio-vasculaires","volume":"26 2","pages":"25-32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"34531419","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Studies on the maintenance phase have highlighted the importance of maintaining the newly acquired healthy living habits in order to continue benefitting from them and prevent the recurrence of cardiovascular diseases and mortality. However, these studies have revealed disturbing dropout rates, from 25 to 50%. There is little research on the factors associated with the maintenance of the new healthy living habits after completing phase II of a cardiac rehabilitation program. This study innovates by measuring riskfactors and quality of life, as predictors of exercise maintenance. The goal of this project is to verify which variables are linked to the maintenance of physical activity during phase III. The sample of the study is composed of 529 patients who completed, between 2005 and 2012, phase II of the cardiac rehabilitation program, called Coeur en sant, offered by the Université de Moncton. The main results show that patients at risk of not maintaining their physical activity are younger, male, with only afew risk factors and a lower score on the quality of physical life scale, particularly with respect to the physical role and general health components.","PeriodicalId":77057,"journal":{"name":"Canadian journal of cardiovascular nursing = Journal canadien en soins infirmiers cardio-vasculaires","volume":"26 2","pages":"33-40"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"34531420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
