Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) management can be improved with personalized walking programs. Nurses play a key role in enhancing patient mobility and quality of life for those with PAD symptoms like calf pain.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Medicine
  • Exercise Physiology
  • Nursing Care

Background:

  • Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) impacts over 10% of adults over 70.
  • Key risk factors include diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, smoking, and genetics.
  • Intermittent claudication, characterized by calf pain, is a primary symptom of lower-extremity PAD, severely limiting patient mobility.

Observation:

  • Current medical treatments for intermittent claudication are limited.
  • Walking exercise rehabilitation is a primary therapeutic option.
  • Nurses can significantly improve patient quality of life through exercise programs.

Findings:

  • Walking exercise training demonstrably increases walking ability and decreases calf discomfort.
  • Individualized walking programs, facilitated by nurses, show effectiveness in community-based clients.

  • A nursing plan of care with defined goals can guide patient recovery.

    • Implications:

    • Nurses are crucial in connecting patients to walking programs and developing personalized plans.
    • Enhanced patient mobility and reduced pain can be achieved through tailored exercise interventions.
    • Improved quality of life for PAD patients is attainable through focused nursing support and exercise.
