Summary

This study highlights how outpatient nursing services, focusing on exercise and psychological support, can significantly improve walking ability for patients with intermittent claudication (IC). These nursing interventions offer a valuable approach for managing this common arterial disease manifestation.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Medicine
  • Nursing Care
  • Rehabilitation

Background:

  • Intermittent claudication (IC) is a prevalent symptom of peripheral arterial disease, particularly in older adults.
  • Invasive treatments for IC may not be suitable or effective for all patients, leading to functional limitations.
  • Nursing interventions can enhance patient well-being and functional capacity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the development and implementation of an outpatient nursing service for patients with IC.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of nursing interventions, including exercise training and psychological support.
  • To provide a model for nurses establishing similar programs for vascular patients.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a specialized outpatient nursing service.

  • Provision of structured exercise training programs.
  • Delivery of psychological support to patients with IC.
  • Review of outcomes for the first 102 patients referred to the program.

    • Main Results:

    • The nursing intervention program demonstrated improvements in walking ability for patients with IC.
    • The service successfully integrated exercise and psychological support components.
    • Positive outcomes suggest the efficacy of this nursing-led approach.

    Conclusions:

    • Outpatient nursing services can effectively manage intermittent claudication by improving functional outcomes.
    • Exercise training and psychological support are key components of successful nursing interventions for vascular patients.
    • The described model offers valuable insights for nurses developing programs for chronic health conditions.
