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

Background: Smoking is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, particularly in high-risk individuals. This study aimed to evaluate an effectiveness of innovative, tailored group video-based smoking cessation intervention in enhancing knowledge and motivation to quit among high cardiovascular risk smokers. The group video-based programs may offer a flexible, engaging and impactful alternative to traditional in-person interventions. Methods: This was a two-armed, randomized control trial involving 100 high cardiovascular-risk smokers attending the outpatient clinic Hospital Pakar Universiti Sains Malaysia. Participants were randomized into two equally divided groups. The intervention group received a group video-based smoking cessation seminar and standard care, while the control group received only standard care. Knowledge and motivation scores were measured at baseline, 2 weeks, and 8 weeks post-intervention. Results: There was a significant group-time interaction for both knowledge (p<.001, 95% CI) and motivation scores (p<.001, 95% CI) between the intervention and control groups. Both groups showed significant improvements in knowledge and motivation at 2 and 8 weeks compared to baseline (p<0.05, 95% CI), with the intervention group showing a greater mean difference in both scores. Conclusion: The addition of a group video-based smoking cessation strategy to standard care significantly improved knowledge and motivation to quit smoking among high cardiovascular-risk smokers.
