Pulse rhythm

743
Pulse rhythm refers to the pattern of pulsations within specific intervals, offering valuable insights into the regularity or irregularity of the heart's beats as observed through the pattern of pulsation within specific intervals. A regular pulse exhibits a consistent heart rate with uniform waveforms and pulsation force, variations of which can be classified as normal, weak, or bounding.
Conversely, an irregular pulse pattern is termed dysrhythmia, stemming from disruptions in cardiac...

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Health Informatics
  • Nursing

Background:

  • Patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) require effective self-management strategies.
  • Existing self-management tools may not fully address the needs of ICD patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a mobile application self-management program for patients with ICDs.
  • To assess the program's impact on patient uncertainty, self-care competence, quality of life, and physiological indicators.

Main Methods:

  • A quasi-experimental pre-post study design with a nonequivalent control group.
  • The experimental group (n=32) used a mobile app and education; the control group (n=32) received a booklet and education for 8 weeks.
  • Statistical analyses included t-tests, Mann-Whitney U, ANCOVA, and ranked ANCOVA.

Main Results:

  • The mobile application group showed significant improvements in physical and mental quality of life compared to the control group.
  • No significant changes were observed in physiological indicators (ejection fraction, blood pressure, pulse rate).
  • Self-care competence and uncertainty levels were not detailed in the abstract's results.

Conclusions:

  • A mobile application self-management program can enhance the quality of life for patients with ICDs.
  • This program shows potential as a valuable nursing intervention for improving patient outcomes.
  • Further research may explore long-term effects and broader physiological impacts.
