Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally, significantly impacting healthcare providers, including nurses. Despite their critical role in health promotion, many nurses neglect their cardiovascular preventive activities (CVPAs). This study assessed the prevalence and associated factors of good CVPAs among female nurses at Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) Hospital. 212 registered female nurses participated in a cross-sectional study that was carried out between June and August 2015. Data on sociodemographic characteristics, work-related factors, and CVPAs were collected through a structured self-administered questionnaire. Good CVPAs were defined as adherence to dietary guidelines, regular physical activity, non-smoking, alcohol avoidance, and regular health screenings. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with good CVPAs. Only 14.2% of nurses practiced good CVPAs. While 75.5% were physically active, only 17.9% consumed five or more servings of fruits and vegetables regularly. Nurses in medical-based departments had lower odds of practicing good CVPAs compared to those in surgical-based units (OR = 0.24, 95% CI: 0.08-0.76, p = 0.015). The prevalence of good CVPAs among female nurses at USM Hospital is low, especially regarding dietary adherence. The work department significantly influences preventive practices, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to promote cardiovascular health among nurses.

Abstract

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a significant complication among type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients, impacting their quality of life and healthcare resources. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of DKD prevention and identify their predictors among T2DM patients in Northeast Peninsular Malaysia. A cross-sectional study involving 600 T2DM patients from government health clinics in Kelantan was conducted using a validated questionnaire. Logistic regression analyses were used to determine predictors of poor KAP. Results showed that 77% of participants had poor knowledge, 58.2% had poor attitudes, and 50.78% had poor practices regarding DKD prevention. Predictors of poor knowledge included being single, widowed, or divorced, lower education, and having at least one diabetic complication. Interestingly, unemployed participants had lower odds of poor knowledge. Poor attitudes were linked to lower education and unemployment, while poor practices were predicted by ethnicity, lower education, and poor attitudes. These findings suggest that DKD prevention strategies should focus on improving education, targeting vulnerable groups, and addressing socio-demographic factors to enhance KAP among T2DM patients.
