NURSING PRINCIPLES IN HYPERTENSIVE PATIENTS
Abstract:
Cardiovascular health status has become one of the global problems of mankind due to its universality and inherent interferences with the priority directions of industrialization, environmental, socio-economic development and cultural relations. Epidemiological studies have shown that cardiovascular diseases are influenced by the living standards, human behaviour, opportunities for healthcare and last but not least by environmental variations. In the presence of one or more risk factors in a person, in population and clinical studies the concept of “global risk” is used. This term defines the overall result of the action of risk factors on the cardiovascular health of the individual. The aim of this study is to evaluate the main nursing problems during hospitalization, identifying interventions that improve quality of life and improved training methods of such patients regarding lifestyle, understanding, raising awareness and controlling the disease. The study was conducted at the Railway Hospital of Sibiu on a group of 70 patients hospitalized within the Internal Medicine Department between January 1 and March 1 2012, to whom a questionnaire containing 14 questions was applied. After analyzing the responses of patients, it can be concluded that patient satisfaction is very high, but 46 % of patients have opted to increase the quality of care and improve community health. Enhancing health education of the population on hygienic-dietary regime, medication, evolution, complications and medical checks is necessary. Intense involvement of all nurses with the cooperation and support of the family is also necessary.
