Evaluation of Printed Health Education Materials for Use by Low‐Education Families
ConclusionsImproving outcomes and reducing health disparities are increasingly important, and patients must be partners in their care for this to occur. One step to increasing patient understanding of written instructions is improving the quality of the materials in the instruction for all patients and their families, especially those with limited literacy skills.
Clinical RelevanceUsing materials that are written in a manner that facilitates the uptake and use of patient education content has great potential to improve the ability of patients and families to be partners in care and to improve outcomes, especially for thos...

Evaluating a novel approach to enhancing dysphagia management: workplace‐based, blended e‐learning
ConclusionsWorkplace‐based, blended e‐learning was an acceptable, cost effective way of delivering essential clinical knowledge and skills about dysphagia.
Relevance to clinical practiceDysphagia should be viewed as a patient safety issue because of the risks of malnutrition, dehydration and aspiration pneumonia. As such, it is pertinent to many members of the interdisciplinary team. Consideration should be given to including dysphagia management in initial education and continuing professional development programmes.

Evaluation of patients with stroke monitored by home care programs
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the patient with a stroke in home treatment, investigating physical capacity, mental status and anthropometric analysis. This was a cross-sectional study conducted in Fortaleza/CE, from January to April of 2010. Sixty-one individuals monitored by a home care program of three tertiary hospitals were investigated, through interviews and the application of scales. The majority of individuals encountered were female (59%), elderly, bedridden, with a low educational level, a history of other stroke, a high degree of dependence for basic (73.8%) and instrumental (80.3 %) activities of da...

In men and women with COPD the presence of urinary incontinence is associated with poorer quality of life
Commentary on: Hrisanfow E, Hägglund D. Impact of cough and urinary incontinence on quality of life in women and men with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. J Clin Nurs 2013;22:97–105. Implications for practice and research The combination of coughing, as a result of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and urinary incontinence (UI), can adversely affect quality of life. Healthcare providers must actively screen for UI in patients who smoke, have a chronic cough and/or who are diagnosed with COPD, as early treatment may improve quality of life. Context It is estimated that worldwide, over 200 milli...

Nursing practice in stroke rehabilitation: systematic review and meta‐ethnography
ConclusionThe review provides compelling evidence that there is an need to re‐examine the role of nurses in contributing to poststroke rehabilitation, including clarifying when this process can safely begin and specifying the techniques that can be integrated in nurses' practice.
Relevance to clinical practiceIntegrating stroke‐specific rehabilitation skills in nurses' practice could contribute substantially to improving outcomes for stroke survivors. The explanatory framework developed from the review findings identifies issues which will need to be addressed in order to maximise nurses' contribution to the rehabilita...

Social support, coping strategies and health‐related quality of life among primary caregivers of stroke survivors in China
ConclusionActive coping strategies predicted better health‐related quality of life. Findings suggest that intervention programmes should be developed to enhance caregivers of stroke survivors’ coping skills and improve social support for these caregivers in China.
Relevance to clinical practiceCommunity healthcare providers may need to help caregivers strengthen strategies that are effective (planning, active coping, seeking instrumental and emotional support) and change those that are not helpful (venting, denial and self‐blame).

Evaluating a community‐based stroke nursing education and rehabilitation programme for patients with mild stroke
This study evaluated whether mild stroke patients who received a community‐based stroke nursing intervention had better stroke knowledge, behaviour and self‐efficacy than those who were exposed to traditional education programmes. The intervention group consisted of sixty five stroke patients randomly selected from seven communities who received three 2‐hour stroke interventions per week for 8 weeks. The normal care group consisted of sixty two stroke patients randomly selected from a medical centre who received a general stroke education programme. The stroke patients in two groups were assessed at baseline, after i...

Knowledge, health‐promoting behaviors, and biological risks of recurrent stroke among stroke patients in Korea
ConclusionStroke patients exhibited appropriate stroke knowledge and performed moderate to high levels of health‐promoting behaviors. However, 73.2% of patients had uncontrolled risk factor(s) in one or more of the five biological risk factors for stroke recurrence. Nurses should be aware that stroke patients seeking treatments from clinics and hospitals are still at risk of stroke recurrence.

Overweight and obese middle-aged women have increased risk of venous thromboembolism, particularly following surgery
Commentary on Parkin L, Sweetland S, Balkwill A, et al.. for the Million Women Study Collaborators. Body mass index, surgery and risk of venous thromboembolism in middle-aged women: a cohort study. Circulation 2012;125:1897–904. Implications for practice and research Obesity is associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) including both spontaneous and postoperative events. Further research is needed regarding factors responsible for the increase in postoperative VTE in overweight patients, and whether management should be altered (eg, increased focus on postoperative mobilisation, altered doses ...

Factors Affecting Decision Making in Hispanics Experiencing Myocardial Infarction
It was estimated that 785,000 new myocardial infarctions (MIs), 470,000 recurrent MIs, and 195,000 silent MIs will occur during 2010 in the United States. Cardiovascular disease, including heart disease and stroke, is the cause of death for 27% of Hispanic males and 31.5% of Hispanic females. There has been an increasing discrepancy between Hispanic knowledge in recognition of MI symptoms compared with non-Hispanic Whites. Only 5.6 % to 27.4 % of Hispanics know all MI symptoms and the need to immediately activate emergency medical services, compared with 11.9% to 45.8% of non-Hispanic Whites. The health belief model is use...

Extending inter-professional learning through the use of a multi-disciplinary Wiki
We report and reflect on the students' evaluations of both the Wiki as process and outcome and discuss the value of Wikis for inter-professional learning.Findings show that, in addition to being an enjoyable and flexible learning experience, the Wiki satisfied its intended aims. There was a variation in the level and quality of student participation the causes of which are discussed. Ground rules for effective Wiki use are proposed.

Stroke Prevention Knowledge and Prestroke Health Behaviors Among Hypertensive Stroke Patients in Mainland China.
CONCLUSIONS:: The participants showed a relatively low level of stroke prevention knowledge and a moderate level of engagement in healthy behaviors. Pearson correlation coefficient between these 2 variables was 0.423 (P < .001). The results of multiple regression analysis showed that stroke prevention knowledge was positively influenced by education level; health behaviors were positively influenced by both gender and stroke prevention knowledge. Findings suggest that male hypertensive patients and those with a lower education level need targeted stroke education. Because knowledge was unrelated to behavior with respect...
