It emphasizes the method's flexibility in terms of philosophical positioning, template development, and methodological approach, accommodating both deductive and inductive strategies. Potential limitations of template analysis are also discussed. To illustrate its practical application, the article outlines the step-by-step procedure of template analysis, employed in a previous study: (i) development of a list of a priori themes, (ii) data familiarization and subdivision into subsets, (iii) preliminary coding, (iv) initial template development and clustering, (v) team meeting, (vi) iterative coding, (vii) team meeting, (viii) application of the final template to the dataset, (ix) template visualization, and (x) data interpretation.</p>","PeriodicalId":93997,"journal":{"name":"European journal of cardiovascular nursing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147619294","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}

Cardiovascular nurses play a vital role in reducing the global burden of cardiovascular disease through their multiple leadership opportunities and focus on prevention. From serving as an informal or formal clinical leader, case manager, educator, mentor for emerging cardiovascular nurses or nurse leaders, champion for quality of care, or policy advocate, as examples, cardiovascular nurse leaders can have a profound impact on improving outcomes for individuals, families, and communities. As leaders, cardiovascular nurses must be prepared for their roles through development of leadership competencies to ultimately shape decisions in their settings, whether in clinical care, management, education, advanced practice, and research or through community and professional organizations. This article revisits the competencies required of nurse leaders to be effective in cardiovascular disease prevention and improving outcomes in a changing global healthcare environment.

Over the past several decades, CVDs have remained the leading cause of death worldwide. Among CVDs, most mortality estimates are attributed to heart attack and stroke. Another measure of CVDs is disability-adjusted life years, which is the sum of years of life lost and years lived with disability, and provides an index for an estimate of the total number of productive years lost. Therefore, CVDs pose a daunting public health challenge. Several well-known risk factors that substantially contribute to CVDs are preventable, including hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, air pollution, obesity, smoking, physical inactivity, and unhealthy dietary intake. Risk estimation is the foundation of preventive cardiovascular health. CVDs risk calculators for clinical and public estimates are available for this purpose. However, the burden of CVDs and its risk factors vary greatly according to demographics and geographical regions. Therefore, this article describes the burden of CVDs and risk factors in adults according to the World Health Organization's defined regions. Furthermore, emerging CVDs risk factors, population-based prevention approaches, risk estimation calculators, preparation, and manpower issues are discussed.</p>","PeriodicalId":93997,"journal":{"name":"European journal of cardiovascular nursing","volume":"25 1","pages":"18-30"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147619315","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}
