  7. 5. Health-related quality of life in patients with pacemakers. A descriptive and experimental study

    Författare :Dan Malm; Bengt Fridlund; Joep Perk; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :caring; elderly; gender; health-related quality of life; intervention; pacemaker population; patient education; self-care.; Health-related quality of life;

    Sammanfattning : The general aim of this thesis was to describe and evaluate the health-relatedquality of life (HRQoL) of patients with pacemakers, as well as to determine theeffects of a nurse-led intervention regarding health-related quality of life in theform of a self-care program for these patients. Descriptive designs were used todescribe (I) quality of life (n=182) as well as (II) HRQoL (n=697) of pacemakerpatients based on a nursing perspective. LÄS MER
