Demographic trends clearly indicate that the Canadian population is aging. As well, cardiovascular disease is the most common chronic disease in the elderly. The purpose of this project was to undertake a systematic and comprehensive review of nursing literature published from 1980 to 1992 on cardiac disease in the elderly. To date, no critical analysis of nursing knowledge in this area has been conducted. Thirty-eight articles were found to meet the inclusion criteria and were reviewed according to purpose, subject characteristics, variables studied, research method employed, scientific and/or theoretical merit, and relevance for practice. What is known concerning the elderly with cardiac disease, along with recommendations for future nursing research, are presented. Information about the quantity and quality of literature related to cardiac disease in the elderly is important for the development of a scientific base for nursing practice.
人口统计趋势清楚地表明加拿大人口正在老龄化。此外，心血管疾病是老年人中最常见的慢性病。本项目的目的是对1980年至1992年发表的关于老年心脏病的护理文献进行系统而全面的综述。迄今为止，尚未对该领域的护理知识进行批判性分析。发现有38篇文章符合纳入标准，并根据目的、主题特征、研究变量、采用的研究方法、科学和/或理论价值以及与实践的相关性进行了综述。本文介绍了有关老年心脏病患者的已知情况以及对未来护理研究的建议。有关老年心脏病相关文献的数量和质量的信息对于护理实践科学基础的发展至关重要。
