Nurse Practitioner Knowledge of Symptoms of Acute Coronary Syndrome

Abstract: Nurse practitioners (NPs) are well positioned to teach women at risk for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) to recognize symptoms and take appropriate actions should symptoms occur. However, NPs need to be knowledgeable of varied symptom presentations. This feasibility study used case vignettes of women with possible ACS symptoms to assess NP knowledge of differential diagnosis of symptoms and actions the women should take in response to the symptoms. Findings suggest that NPs had higher accuracy in diagnosing and … Show more

“…Unlike the study conducted in South Korea 28 and USA 23 , this study found no statistically significant association between work experience and nursing practice in the care of patients with ACS. A possible justification for this variation might be due to the small sample size, study population, and study design.…”

“… 13 However, the finding of this study showed only (44%) of study participants had good practice regarding care of the patient with ACS. This finding was significantly lower when compared to a study reported from USA, 23 in which the majority of a nurse (75%) had higher accuracy in recommending appropriate actions for patients with ACS symptoms. Another study from the USA revealed that 87% and 52% of acute care nurses frequently ask about chest pain and give analgesics respectively.…”

“…In graduated nurses, the existing research focuses on some aspect of nursing, such as the identification of a patient with ACS. Nurses have been found to have deficiencies in their skills, and they do not always recognize ACS in the background of the patient's symptoms (Ballard et al, 2011;Davis & Maness, 2019;Weeks et al, 2017). It has been suggested using a knowledge test alongside with a self-assessed competence instrument to give a broader picture of the nursing students' competence at graduation (Kajander-Unkuri et al, 2014;Lakanmaa et al, 2014).…”
