C. G. Pedersen; C. V. Nielsen; V. Lynggaard; A. D. Zwisler; T. Maribo – Health Education Research, 2023
This study examined whether patients attending cardiac rehabilitation (CR) based on the pedagogical strategy learning and coping (LC) led to improved health-related quality of life (HRQL), reduced symptoms of anxiety and depression and improved self-management 6 and 12 months after the completion of CR compared with patients attending CR based on…

LaShawn Wordlaw; Helene Vilme – Journal of American College Health, 2024
Objective: This one-year pilot study investigated the effectiveness of a multimedia campaign, Heart Healthy U (HHU), to increase awareness about the link between unhealthy behaviors and risk for heart disease among emerging adults on a college campus. This paper describes the implementation of HHU. Participants: The HHU campaign was implemented…

Jesse D. Moreira-Bouchard; Lisa M. Roberts; Vanessa Silva; Evan J. Nessen; Karan K. Smith; Carl G. Streed Jr.; Jessica L. Fetterman – Advances in Physiology Education, 2025
Physiology education is at the core of biomedical science and medicine. Physiology unites multiple disciplines to explain the mechanisms whereby a risk factor is associated with disease. Race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and gender identity are associated with risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Minority stress theory attempts to explain the…

Sahin, Berkan; Aksan, Ilknur Okur; Önal, Bedia Sultan; Hosoglu, Esra; Karabekiroglu, Koray – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2023
There are studies reporting different results on whether there is an increased incidence of cardiovascular problems in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The aim of this study was to examine carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT), an early marker of atherosclerosis in children and adolescents with ASD. This single-center case-control study was…

Patient education is a core component of cardiovascular rehabilitation (CR). Recent guidelines call for tailored materials to support women, given their unique needs and preferences. This study investigated women patient's perspectives of online CR educational materials (Cardiac College, Toronto). Through a cross-sectional design, a think-aloud…

Violant-Holz, Verónica; Muñoz-Violant, Sarah; Rodrigo-Pedrosa, Olga – Psychology in the Schools, 2023
Educational attainment is closely associated with health. The objective is to explore the extent to which children and adolescents with congenital heart disease (CHD) are afforded the same educational and socialization opportunities as their healthy peers. We used a qualitative phenomenological design with convenience sampling. Data gathered 27…

Amanda Whittal; Isabell Ehringfeld; Paula Steinhoff; Oliver Rudolf Herber – Health Education & Behavior, 2024
There is a rising recognition of the crucial role self-care plays in managing heart failure (HF). Yet patients often have difficulties implementing ongoing self-care recommendations into their daily lives. There is also recognition of the importance of theory for successful intervention design, and understanding of key factors for implementation…

Kristen L. W. Walton – Advances in Physiology Education, 2024
Views of obesity as a consequence of "lack of willpower" or other behavioral choices, rather than a complex array of biological and other factors, are quite common among undergraduate students. Many undergraduates in prenursing or biology programs have little exposure to the physiology and pathophysiology of obesity, including learning…

Gottfredson, Linda S. – Journal of Intelligence, 2021
The global epidemic of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes, is creating unsustainable burdens on health systems worldwide. NCDs are treatable but not curable. They are less amenable to top-down prevention and control than are the infectious diseases now in retreat. NCDs are mostly preventable, but only…

Laura M. Penalo – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Through the use of virtual simulations (VS) in nursing education, nursing students are exposed to a variety of clinical scenarios that may potentially improve their learning of competencies, increase their self-efficacy, and enhance their future clinical performance. Despite limited quantitative research incorporating evidence-based strategies…

Izquierdo-Gomez, Rocio; Esteban-Cornejo, Irene; Cabanas-Sanchez, Veronica; Marcos, Ascensión; Gómez-Martínez, Sonia; Castro-Piñero, José; Veiga, Óscar L. – Journal of Intellectual & Developmental Disability, 2023
Introduction: The aims of this study were to examine cross-sectional, and longitudinal association of different measures of obesity and physical fitness with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in adolescents with Down syndrome. Methods: Longitudinal analysis included 90 adolescents with Down syndrome. Obesity and physical fitness were…

Tanja Plasil; Ellen Margrete Iveland Ersfjord; Kim Berge; Line M. Oldervoll – Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2024
Background: Research suggests that people with intellectual disabilities have a higher risk for cardiovascular disease than the general population. The aim of this study was to identify barriers for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cardiovascular disease for people with intellectual disabilities. Method: We conducted individual…

Charissa N. Obeng-Nyarko; Penny A. Ralston; Kandauda K. A. S. Wickrama; Jennifer L. Lemacks; Jasminka Z. Ilich – Health Education & Behavior, 2024
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) continues to be the leading cause of death in the United States, with African Americans experiencing higher age-adjusted mortality compared to Whites. African American women in particular carry a high CVD burden due to more exposure to adverse personal and socioenvironmental challenges. Church-based interventions can…

Weterings, Stijn; Oppewal, Alyt; Hilgenkamp, Thessa I. M. – Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2020
Background: The cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk is high in adults with intellectual disabilities. This CVD risk can potentially be decreased with a resistance training (RT) programme at vigorous intensity, following previous research on successful High-Intensity Training programmes. Our aim was to explore the feasibility of a vigorous…

The high level of consumption of processed foods has an effect on human health. The consumption of doughnuts, pastries, fried chicken, French fried potatoes, snack chips, and imitation cheese is high among teenagers. These foods are generally rich in fats, although the focus has often been on the quantity rather than the quality of these fats.…
