Appraisal of the Findings of a Qualitative Study on Implementing Guidelines for Cardiovascualr Risk

Objective 3- Explain the interrelation among theory, practice, and research and describe how to identify practice discrepancies between standards and practice that may affect patient outcomes.

Individually perceived barriers consist of nurses’ lack of knowledge regarding research methodology, inability to explore the strengths and weaknesses of the study, less cooperation from colleagues and lack of authority to utilize research results in practice to bring change. Organizational barriers are a lack of time to implement the new evidence due to workload, insufficient resources, and inadequate administrative support to implement Evidence Based Practice (EBP) (Agnes T, et al.,

Cardiovascular disease is one of the major health problem that most of the countries are facing today and one of such countries is Australia. It is estimated that about 1 million of Australian population is affected by cardiovascular diseases and is among the leading cause of death in Australia ("Department of Health | Cardiovascular disease", 2016). It is also observed that the Aboriginal population of Australia is more likely to develop cardiovascular disease than other Australians ("Department of Health | Cardiovascular disease", 2016). In order to examine the health issue such as cardiovascular disease among Aboriginal men and women using social

Sam is a recently graduated health professional and has observed that clinical practices vary in the different health care facilities. Sam is confused about which practice is the most effective to give patients better health outcomes according to the latest research literature.

The researcher analyzed the data using a “wholistic, selective and detailed line-by-line approach” by Van Manen. The themes that emerged were matched with verbatim passages; it was categorized into two perspectives from the consumers of the health care (patient and family) and the providers’ of health care. Descriptors of emerging themes were further enumerated and correlated between two perspectives. It is auditable in a sense that it can be subscribed to and followed by other researchers by providing rationales of the author’s “decision trail at each stage of the research process” (Coughian, Cronin, & Ryan, 2007, p. 743).

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the most common cause of mortality worldwide, especially in developed countries. But they are also largely preventable, and many studies have tried to clarify the related risk factors, and what could be done to avoid them.

https://www.nlm.nih.gov/hsrinfo/implementation_science.html Dissemination and Implementation 101 The goal of implementation science is to identify, understand and resolve the barriers and challenges of successfully implementing new medical interventions that are safe and effective. Translating medical research into clinical practice is highly complex process that involves disseminating the information to clinicians and persuading them to adopt and successfully implement the new

The findings of our study may be somewhat limited by study design. In quasi experimental design, there is a potential for confounders. So to evaluate the effect of external confounders we used a non-equivalent control group. However using non-equivalent control group is problematic, but in single hospital it is not possible to select an equivalent control group in comparison to intervention group.

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. One’s environment plays an important role in the development of risk factors for cardiovascular disease either through direct or indirect behaviors. A study conducted by Sabzmakan et al. (2014) attempts to understand patients and healthcare workers experiences with environmental determinants for cardiovascular disease based on the Precede Model. This is a qualitative study that took place in the Diabetes Units of Health Centers located in Karaj, Iran over a 6 month period. Data was collected by providing individual face to face interviews with 50 patients and 12 healthcare providers. Data analysis was performed at the same time as the collection using a content analysis directed

In qualitative the author included a research design that had eight groups accompanied by patients and health professionals. In quantitative, however, samples of

Developing a plan that can assist individuals make healthy lifestyle changes decreasing the risk factors for developing cardiovascular disease is an important aspect of a healthy community. In developing individual plans and observing the outcomes will assist in being able to develop a plan that will promote cardiovascular health throughout the

The study was a longitudinal, cross-sectional of nine data sets taken from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 1973 to 2010. The data from NHANES was then analyzed to sex-specific trends and projections of cardiovascular disease risk factors, treatment uptake, ten-year total risk and prevalence using the Framingham cardiovascular disease risk equation (Pandya, Gaziano, Weinstein & Cutler, 2013). The Framingham risk score is widely used to predict an individual’s ten-year risk of cardiovascular disease based on commonly obtained risk factors compared to a projection that was made for the years from 2015 to 2030.

A health services perspective was adopted for this analysis as is recommended by previous guidelines (40). Adopting a societal perspective can be challenging, and there is debate and difficulties around what to include as part of this as well of ways of costing all elements of treatment and care, especially from a patient and carers perspective.
