Direct Cost Related to Stroke: A Longitudinal Analysis of Survivors After Discharge From a Rehabilitation Hospital
Conclusion
In the first poststroke year, direct costs have remained stable over time and can be predicted by the level of education and physical functioning. The identification of specific direct cost predictors would be helpful for developing more socially and economically tailored interventions for stroke survivors in their first year after their stroke.

Effects of eHealth-Based Interventions on Adherence to Components of Cardiac Rehabilitation: A Systematic Review
Conclusion
This review summarizes the effects of eHealth on components of CR and revealed variations in measurement and evaluation methods. The telemonitoring and web-based applications for self-care behaviors were most effective in promoting adherence. The measurement of adherence should be based on an explicit definition of adherence and should be measured with validated scales tested in the CR population.

Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Shocks and Psychological Distress: Examining the Mediating Roles of Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator–Related Concerns and Perceived Control
Conclusion:
Experiencing defibrillator shocks was associated with psychological distress in ICD recipients; the relationship was fully mediated by ICD-related concerns and perceived control. These results suggest that clinicians should routinely assess ICD-related concerns and perceived control in patients with ICD. Research is needed to develop and test interventions to decrease emotional distress related to the ICD shock experience. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing)

Patient, Caregiver, and Clinician Perceptions of Ventricular Assist Device Self-care Education Inform the Development of a Simulation-based Mastery Learning Curriculum
Conclusions
Findings from this study suggest that SBML is a natural fit for the high-risk tasks needed to save VAD self-care. The 7 unique training-related themes derived from the qualitative data informed the design and development of a VAD SBML self-care curriculum. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing)

Self-management Among Elderly Patients With Hypertension and Its Association With Individual and Social Environmental Factors in China
Conclusions:
There is a need to develop and test interventions that improve self-management in elderly patients with hypertension. Specifically, individualized interventions to promote exercise among elderly persons with hypertension who are single and living alone are needed. Male patients with a lower education level, poor well-being, poor family function, and the lowest self-management levels are a key population to target. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing)

Initial Psychometric Testing of the Knowledge About Atrial Fibrillation and Self-Management Survey
We report results of initial psychometric testing of the Knowledge about Atrial Fibrillation and Self-Management (KAFSM) survey.
Methods
Participants (N = 383), from midwest and southeast medical centers, completed the KAFSM survey. Content validity was evaluated by expert review. Construct validity was evaluated using the Pearson correlation procedure for convergent validity with the Knowledge about Atrial Fibrillation test and independent t test for known groups. Factor analysis using principal axis factoring was performed with a tetrachoric matrix. The Kuder-Richardson procedure was used to determine internal consist...

Medication Nonadherence or Self-care? Understanding the Medication Decision-Making Process and Experiences of Older Adults With Heart Failure
Conclusions
The older patient with HF should be carefully assessed for nonadherence. The development of interventions that are patient specific, target medications with the greatest potential for nonadherence, and use easy-to-access resources may promote decisions for medication adherence. More research is needed to develop interventions that promote decisions for medication adherence. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing)

Thirst in Patients With Heart Failure in Sweden, the Netherlands, and Japan
Conclusions:
Thirst in patients with HF was related to a higher dose of loop diuretics and fluid restriction. Healthcare providers should realize that it is important to assess thirst regularly and reconsider the need of a fluid restriction and the amount of loop diuretics in case of thirst.

Pain During “Noncomplex” Electrophysiological Studies and Cardiac Rhythm Device Surgery
Conclusion:
Half of the patients reported moderate to severe pain at least once during cardiac electrophysiological procedures without analgosedation. However, on average, patients reported only low pain levels. Postinterventional derived data on discomfort reflect the peri-interventional situation. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing)
