This research study explored the lived experiences of adults diagnosed with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) when exposed to a prolonged period of extreme cold.
This research study utilized descriptive qualitative research design.
Face-to-face interview sessions with audio recording were conducted. There were 30 informants who participated in the study. Descriptive phenomenology with Colaizzi's method of data analysis was used.
Results revealed three themes, namely: (i) elucidating cold exposure; (ii) challenges of cold exposure; and (iii) translating adverse exposure to self-management. The results further revealed the significance of nursing health care especially to health promotion, disease prevention and health restoration especially in community setting.
In conclusion, manifestations of CAD are triggered when exposed to a prolonged period of extremely low environmental temperature.
本研究探讨了被诊断为冠状动脉疾病(CAD)的成年人在长时间暴露于极端寒冷环境时的生活经历。
本研究采用描述性定性研究设计。
进行了有音频记录的面对面访谈。有30名参与者参加了该研究。采用了基于科莱齐数据分析方法的描述性现象学。
结果揭示了三个主题,即:(i)阐明寒冷暴露;(ii)寒冷暴露的挑战;以及(iii)将不良暴露转化为自我管理。结果还进一步揭示了护理保健的重要性,特别是在社区环境中对健康促进、疾病预防和健康恢复方面。
总之,长时间暴露于极低环境温度会引发CAD的表现。
