Little is known about the disease, and even less about the psychosocial burdens. While it is important to create awareness about the physical aspects of the disease, it is equally important to create awareness about the psychosocial burdens patients and their families face. We reviewed the literature to better understand these psychosocial burdens, which include impact from physical limitations, emotional strains, financial burdens, social isolation, lack of intimacy in relationships, and an overall lack of information. The findings can be used to assist health care providers to understand the psychosocial challenges that are being experienced by patients and families in order to better provide supportive care. The creation of a standardized tool to assess the psychosocial burdens at each clinic visit can benefit health care providers by addressing challenges faced and facilitate subsequent referral to appropriate specialists.","PeriodicalId":77057,"journal":{"name":"Canadian journal of cardiovascular nursing = Journal canadien en soins infirmiers cardio-vasculaires","volume":"26 1","pages":"14-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"34466707","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}

Despite recommendations from cardiovascular societies, influenza vaccination remains suboptimal in the implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) population. Barriers to receiving the influenza vaccination have not been explored.Purpose: To evaluate the barriers to receiving the influenza vaccine in patients with ICDs.Design: Exploratory descriptive design using a survey developed by the staff of the ICD clinic.Procedure: A pilot study was conducted as part of a quality initiative of ICD patients at a regional cardiac centre. These patients were approached to participate in a one-page survey assessing barriers to receipt of the influenza vaccination. Predictors of vaccination were determined using multivariate logistic regression.Findings: Of the 229 patients who completed the survey between September 1 and November 31, 2011, 78% of the patients received the influenza vaccine. The only factor independently associated with influenza vaccination was a positive patient attitude toward the safety of influenza vaccination. Easier access to the influenza vaccination was not associated with its receipt.Conclusion: A positive patient attitude toward the influenza vaccine is associated with its use. ICD clinic practitioners may have an opportunity to explore any misconceptions toward the influenza vaccine at each clinic visit in hope of increasing its receipt. Given the importance of this vaccination, future studies are recommended.","PeriodicalId":77057,"journal":{"name":"Canadian journal of cardiovascular nursing = Journal canadien en soins infirmiers cardio-vasculaires","volume":"25 3","pages":"17-23"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"34017495","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}

Continuous minute by minute physical activity was assessed using the SenseWear Mini Armband, which was worn throughout each day for four consecutive days and provided data on steps/day, as well as time spent sedentary (waking time ≤ 1.5 METs), or in light (1.6-2.9 METs) or moderate-vigorous (≥ 3.0 METs) physical activity.Findings: While the Rehab group accumulated more daily activity than the other two groups, they remained sedentary for approximately 70% of waking time. The quantity and quality of the activity in the Maintain group was comparable to that observed in the Acute group.Conclusions: Our observation of consistently elevated sedentary time regardless of whether the participant was entering, completing or were long removed from a formal cardiac rehabilitation program reinforces the need for cardiac rehabilitation nurse educators to both monitor routine daily activity and encourage coronary artery disease patients to adapt a lifestyle that is focused on reducing sedentary behaviour by incorporating planned exercise training and unstructured physical activity throughout the day.","PeriodicalId":77057,"journal":{"name":"Canadian journal of cardiovascular nursing = Journal canadien en soins infirmiers cardio-vasculaires","volume":"25 3","pages":"10-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"34017494","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}

The IVR group received five automated calls in 12 months.

There was significant improvement in medication compliance (p <0.001) and decrease in unplanned medical visits (p = 0.023).
