Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Engineering
  • Health Services Research
  • Veterans Health

Background:

  • Mobility assistive technology (MAT) is vital for veterans' independence.
  • Understanding women veterans' specific needs and experiences with MAT is essential for effective healthcare delivery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the needs, priorities, preferences, and experiences of women veterans with mobility assistive technology (MAT).

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional online survey was conducted with 700 women veterans (≥18 years) who received MAT from the Veterans Health Administration within the last 5 years.
  • The survey collected data on demographics, MAT procurement, evaluation, follow-up, and functional ability in various activities.

Main Results:

  • Of 593 analyzed surveys, common MAT included canes (26%), walkers (24%), and wheelchairs (29%).
  • MAT inadequately met needs for housework (26%), leisure (22%), and social activities (19%).
  • Challenges included device design, limited options, and areas for improvement in follow-up care, despite positive procurement feedback.

Conclusions:

  • Approximately 20% of women veterans reported their MAT did not meet all their needs.
  • MAT design and provision must consider women veterans' unique requirements, with enhanced education on maintenance.
  • Further research is needed to address identified gaps and improve women veterans' MAT experiences and functional outcomes.
