| Title | Women and cardiac rehabilitation: A review of the literature | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2003 | Publication | Contemporary Nurse | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 16 | Issue | 1-2 | Pages | 92-101 |
| Keywords | Cardiovascular diseases; Gender; Nursing; Research | ||||
| Abstract | This literature review explores some of the issues related to women's experience of cardiac rehabilitation and demonstrates that women's experience may be different to that of men. Much of the research related to coronary heart disease (CHD) has been performed using either exclusively male populations or such small numbers of women that the results from the women studied were unable to be analysed independently. The author advocates that nurses working within this area of practice require an understanding of women's experience of recovery from a heart attack in order to better meet their needs. | ||||

| Title | Relaxation: A nursing therapy to help relieve cardiac chest pain | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2000 | Publication | Australian Journal of Advanced Nursing | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 18 | Issue | 1 | Pages | 40-44 |
| Keywords | Alternative therapies; Nursing; Patient satisfaction; Cardiovascular diseases | ||||
| Abstract | This article discusses ways in which relaxation, when used as an adjunct to medical therapies, can be a useful nursing management tool for effectively relieving cardiac pain. The available literature suggests that although nurses place a lot of importance on cardiac patients being pain free, it is apparent this is often not achieved. Research and documented case studies suggest that relaxation can play an important role in the treatment and prevention of this distressing symptom. The author advocates for nurses to challenge nursing practice and help patients deal effectively with chest pain in a way that meets each individual's needs. | ||||
