Abstract

The present research work about "the satisfaction of the clients of an out-patient department toward the approach of the nursing team" was carried out in a central hospital, in Lisbon, with a sample of 82 clients. The principal subjects broached on the biliography revision are: some risk factors of cardiovascular disease and the client approach. We have found at the end of this study that the precordial pain, the arrhythmias and the arterial hypertension, are the main causes that alert the clients, as well as the health professionals who send them to this department to a precocious diagnosis of cardiovascular disease. It was applied an approach guide to the clients of the experimental group and another instrument, a formulary was applied to both of the groups. The mean and the mode were used as measures of central tendency on the statistical treatment and as measures of dispersion the standard deviation and the variation amplitude. For testing our hypothesis we used the following tests: Kolmogoro-Sairnov, Qui-Square with the Coefficient of Yule and the Difference of Means Test, to a significance level of 0.05. All these tests confirmed our hypothesis, meaning that the clients to whom the new nurse-client-approach has been appli...Continue Reading

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.
